Captain (Res.) Shimon G. Levy has been calling Detroit home since 2015. In addition to being an enthusiastic entrepreneur and investor, he has been acting as the Chief Operating Officer of major organizations since 2019. Before coming to MI, he founded the Student Led Trips Initiative, empowering Law School and Public Policy students to take their peers on a life changing journey through their lens to Israel. In 2015, the initiative merged into IsCo (now iTrek). Shimon’s previous venture- Northend Capital, focusing on ancillary businesses to the real estate market,
was acquired in Dec. of 2018. He is an avid community advocate, working and volunteering locally and globally to support Jewish community, fight anti- Semitism and change the discourse around Israel. Shimon is a proud graduate of the University of Haifa, IDC Herzliya and Harvard Kennedy School where he was fortunate to represent his class as the 2014 commencement speaker. He loves renovating (while complaining) his 1925 German Tudor, people, traveling, and big ideas that impact. He resides Detroit with his wife Jennie and son Eli.
