Using Innovative Solutions To Solve Operational Problems
About Allan Levine
Summary
I have spent the better part of 20 years in entrepreneurial environments accelerating growth in part by using innovative solutions to solve operational problems. I help small to medium enterprises accelerate growth by harnessing the power of people, processes, data & technology. I am known as an analytical & logical thinker that has led growth, modernization & optimization initiatives in insurance, medical cannabis, healthcare, consumer goods, digital marketing, software & information technology.
As Vice President of Business Operations of a healthcare technology & data analytics company, I diversified revenue by building a new product line, onboarding and managing new strategic partners leading to revenue growth while maintaining cost neutrality.
As Founder and President of a lead generation company, I led us through the full start-up life-cycle from idea to acquisition. We were profitable within 3 months with annual revenues of $1.3 million in the first year and on track to $2 million in our second year.
During a one year contract as Vice President of a digital marketing company, I doubled revenues and reduced operating costs by modernizing the technology infrastructure, adopting data-driven decision making, and automating business processes.
As Vice President of In The Game Inc. I turned around a consumer goods company by stabilizing operations & growing revenues leading to its acquisition.
I have a proven track record delivering results: revenue growth, margin improvement, implementations, negotiations, new partnerships, P&L management, cost reductions, talent development, sourcing new revenue streams.
I’ve sat in many seats in my career; consultant, analyst, operations, project manager, general management & strategy. As a result, I have a unique ability to understand ambiguity, navigate complex challenges, balance known & unknown variables. Actual experience has taught me that my professional worth comes down to:
- I am an operator who understands the moving parts to a business.
- I am a straight-talking, consensus-building, empathetic, data-driven decision-maker with a down-to-earth approach.
- I’ve been directing and gathering business requirements for 20+ years. I understand the value of investing time upfront.
- I am an integrator. I know how to execute implementations & motivate a team to a common goal.
- I know how to succeed with limited budgets and resource constraints.
- I can translate technology. I speak analyst, data, developer, finance, sales, & difficult client.
- Always think like a customer.

Fundamentals
Strategy - What Direction To Go
Everyday companies face evolving trends and changing market conditions. Is your company prepared to capitalize on new opportunities as they arise and drive growth? I will help you see the big picture, work with key stakeholders to design a strategy that makes sense and is achievable for your business.
Operations - Extracting Value
Operations differs from Strategy in that it is the analysis of how to extract value from an existing or new processes workflow. I will work with you to create and/or identify areas of inefficiency and generate measurable, sustainable improvements while ensuring that the customer promise is delivered every time.
Are you entering into a new business or venture? I will create the proper process workflows from the get go to ensure you can hit the ground running.
Implementation - Get Things Done
A lot of people come up with great ideas but they have no idea how to plan and actually implement a solution properly. My demonstrated, proven and successful multi-discipline project management background provides me the practical experience and know-how to build a tailored approach. I will ensure you realize benefits quickly and achieve a significant lasting impact to your business.
No one can ever plan for all the problems while implementing a strategy. It is about finding a way to make the strategy work.
