Ben Levinson
Seasoned Operations Executive and General Manager with more than 14 years of startup experience.
My first startup was acquired by Expedia.
I led a global Operations team at Airbnb, then scaled Latch’s Operations and Growth teams, taking it public at a $1.5B valuation.
I have P&L ownership experience ($95M+) inside both Workrise and Wheel.
Now, I work as a fractional executive and advisor, partnering with early-stage startups—primarily in B2B and marketplace models.
My Services
Fractional Executive
I embed within startups as an extension of their team (5-20 hours per week) to execute high-impact initiatives. My focus areas include:
Growth: Driving go-to-market strategy, business development, and customer acquisition. I help startups identify key growth levers, optimize marketplace supply-demand dynamics, and build scalable revenue engines.
Operations: Building and scaling operational frameworks to improve efficiency, profitability, and execution. I implement the right processes, systems, and teams to help startups scale sustainably.
Advisor
I provide strategic guidance to startup founders through monthly advisory sessions, helping them navigate challenges, refine growth strategies, and leverage my network for fundraising, hiring, and partnerships.

Beyond Work
I am an aspiring polyglot with a passion for learning and adventure, which has driven me to build and scale startups over the past 10+ years. After selling my first startup, I embraced a new adventure by living in southern Spain, where I volunteered at a local dog rescue.
My wife and I now reside in Los Angeles, where I continue to pursue my varied interests. I love working with my hands, particularly in crafting custom wooden furniture. Additionally, I am a pilot of the Cessna 172 Skyhawk aircraft, enjoying the freedom and perspective that flying brings.
Currently, I am working on an exciting weekend project: bringing a patented design for surfing footwear to market in collaboration with one of the co-founders of TOMS Shoes.
Outside of work, my life is enriched by my family, my dedication to continuous learning, and my drive to explore new horizons.
