In Memoriam: Paul Hoffman, 1959-2020

A SouthTech intern was stunned a few years ago when Paul Hoffman showed up for his college graduation.

Hoffman was the CEO of Sarasota-based SouthTech, a multimillion-dollar IT services and management firm with nearly 60 employees. When the intern saw the busy CEO at the graduation, recall several SouthTech employees, he was blown away. “He couldn’t stop telling everyone Paul came to his graduation,” SouthTech COO Nathan Bailey says. “He was so impressed.”
