Apple Pay Business Development Director, Eric Hoffman, Bids Farewell
In a notable development within Apple’s executive ranks, Eric Hoffman, the Director of Apple Pay Business Development, has decided to step down from his position after eight years, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.
Hoffman was instrumental in forging Apple’s relationships with banks, merchants, and fintech firms and was pivotal in the expansion of Apple Pay since its inception. He had an integral role in managing payment partnerships and driving the business development of Apple Pay across the Americas.
Furthermore, Hoffman had a key role in launching Tap to Pay on iPhone, a revolutionary feature that converted the iPhone into a payment terminal. With this feature, businesses could readily accept Apple Pay, contactless credit and debit cards, and other digital wallets with just a simple tap on their iPhone, eliminating the need for extra equipment.
However, the specifics surrounding Hoffman’s decision to leave Apple remain undisclosed, as does his future professional direction. It is stated that Hoffman is leaving for new pastures, but where that leads remains to be seen.
The departure of Hoffman is part of a recent trend of executive exits from Apple, marking the fifth departure in a span of two months. This includes notable executives like Pete Distad, Senior Director of Video, Sports, and Apple TV+, Peter Stern, Services VP, and Doug Beck, a sales executive. All of these departures signal a considerable change in Apple’s executive ranks.
