Eric Levine brings insight and wisdom as a speaker and moderator from his more than 25 years of practicing law, running and selling businesses, and advising leaders in need of counsel.  His ability to understand key opportunities, provide substantive guidance, and introduce field-related experts, has provided him with the foundation to coach, connect, and make the right introductions at the ownership and C-Suite levels, including the establishment of B2B relationships in the real estate, media, and other industries.  

As an attorney at the nation’s preeminent Labor and Employment firm, Paul Hastings, Eric represented numerous Fortune 5-100 companies, and has been published in preeminent scholarly treatises and journals. In addition to Eric’s litigation and counseling successes, Eric was asked to serve in-house at the General Electric Company’s corporate headquarters, providing advice to numerous business units.

Eric subsequently served as president and board member of Cooperative Purchasers, a Los Angeles based national food ingredients distribution business.  During his tenure, Eric was responsible for quadrupling EBITDA, overseeing strategy, operations, finance, and HR, and establishing significant relationships with best-in-class third-party manufacturers.  Eric successfully led the acquisition and transition of the company to a Goldman Sachs-backed international conglomerate, remaining on board to cement expected synergies.  

Eric is an active member of the international Young Presidents’ Organization, presides over his family’s philanthropic foundation, served on UCLA’s inaugural NICU advisory board, and recently has added Broadway to his family’s investment portfolio.
