Michael Levin, Vice President of Sales

Michael Levin joined PhoneFactor in 2009 as Vice President of Sales. Mr. Levin is a proven executive with 20 years experience in technology with particular expertise in new business growth, including both early-stage start-ups and business unit launches within the corporate environment. Throughout his career, Levin has led successful efforts in Sales, Marketing, Business Development and Corporate Development.

Most recently, as Principal at ML Levin and Associates, Michael provided consulting and advisory services to early stage, growth-oriented businesses looking for support in scaling sales and marketing efforts, developing a business plan and positioning themselves for fund-raising (both angel and institutional) and/or exit.

Prior to that Mr. Levin served as Executive Vice-President of LaGarde where he wore virtually every non-technical hat as head of Sales, Marketing and Business Development, leader of Corporate Development and fund raising efforts and partner, advisor and confidant to the Founder and CEO. Prior to LaGarde, Michael spent 15 years with Sprint in increasingly responsible positions involving sales, marketing, business development, corporate development and strategic planning.

Under Michael’s leadership, LaGarde grew to over $8 million in sales in 2006 from a $1.2 million annual run rate in mid-2002, when he first joined the Company. In the process, he successfully established LaGarde as a recognized leading national player in the ecommerce market, culminating in a west coast Venture Capital $6 million investment at a valuation eight times the Company’s value when he joined it.
