Matt Levine is an acknowledged sports industry business and marketing leader – acclaimed as a visionary at the nexus of technology and sport and as a revenue-building strategist with a profit-economics conscience. His innovative contributions have added measurable value that has strengthened the valuations of multiple clients and employers.

A senior marketing/business development executive with a global view (ask him about his “Afghan Initiative”, his global branding of the San Jose Sharks or his newest sports/technology clients),  he is respected for his customer and market-inspired creativity and attention to detail. One client calls him “Mr. Macro and Mr. Micro”.

Another says, “Retain Matt  only if you want fresh, objective insight and are secure with irrefutable candor.”

Early stage entities and turnarounds have been his specialty. But for three decades he also helped well-run established entities build on their strengths, get smarter and become more productive.

Sports Illustrated hailed him as a “pioneer” in a six-page feature on his early successes with NBA and MLB clubs , Levine having capitalized on his unusual combination of literature and finance education, banking and consumer packaged goods marketing & sales training, curiosity about consumers, constructive skepticism, analytical comfort zone and  innovative imagination.

Advertising Age, Business Week, The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Forbes, Psychology Today, CBS, CNN and others have chimed in with their own accolades.
