MATTHEW LEVINE COMMUN&CATIONSPROFESSIONAL BIO

Matthew Levine is a communications strategist, consultant and writer with over 25 years of experience in non-profit and for-profit organizations.

He served for 13 years as Director of Marketing and Communications at Research to Prevent Blindness (RPB), the leading nonprofit organization supporting scientific investigations and institutions aimed at preventing, treating or restoring lost vision, regardless of the underlying cause. There, he reinvigorated the RPB brand by redefining it as the catalyst for the U.S. vision research community. He also created extensive communications tools, including two new Web sites.

For three years, he served as National Director of Communications at United Jewish Communities (UJC, now the Jewish Federations of North America),

the umbrella organization for 157 Jewish community federations across North America, representing more than $3 billion in fundraising and planned giving campaigns annually. He developed UJC’s initial communications strategy, establishing a single voice for two merging organizations and creating a dialogue between UJC and its member federations. He provided a blueprint for the umbrella organization’s first Web site and oversaw UJC’s move from broadcast satellite communications to Web casting.

Prior to that, for ten years, he was Manager of Employee Communications for HBO during its transformation from television’s groundbreaking content provider into cable TV’s premier content

creator. He reinvented the employee communications function, creating an information hub in service of business strategies and equally in support of employees’ professional development. He also helped to develop the first HBO intranet, one of the nation’s earliest uses of browser technology in support of an internal corporate function (human resources).

He is a graduate of Oberlin College and earned a Master’s degree in Fiction at Columbia University, where he graduated with honors. His paintings can be viewed at matthewlevineart.blogspot.com.
