Seth Levenson

Background and Experience

Seth ensures that his clients are improving in ways that support their company’s strategy, operating model, and culture. He brings his business acumen and intuition to help his clients succeed in becoming confident, trusted, and authentic leaders.

Seth’s easy style and keen sense of humor allow him to be direct and, as one client noted, “to say things in a way that people can hear them.” He prides himself on what another client called, “being firm and gentle at the same time.” Using head, heart and “gut,” Seth is able to listen deeply, make sense of a situation, and offer up questions and suggestions that are both insightful and practical. He then likes to “get out of the way” to let his clients be responsible for their own successes.

Previously, Seth established a change management practice for a marketing agency and founded and sold a software-based consulting firm. Earlier, Seth worked in strategy consulting at Bain & Company.

Your Success is Our Reward

When your senior leaders work together to take your organization to the next level, we both succeed.

The best athletes have coaches. As a CEO, I work with an executive coach from Berman Leadership to help me stay focused, help my team stay focused, help me communicate better, and help my team communicate better. I appreciate being able to bounce ideas off of them when I’m seeing issues from personnel to strategy. Their psychology based approach combined with business experience helps me navigate new problems and gives me great guidance for how to get from point A to point B when you don’t have a map.
