A.B. Political Science, 1982Chairman and CEO, Levy
Andy is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Levy, the hospitality company known for redefining food, beverage and guest experiences across sports and entertainment destinations. For the last 38+ years, Andy has been guiding the Company’s growth from a Chicago-born restaurant group into a global hospitality leader with now more than 60,000 team members serving guests at more than 400 locations around the world.
Andy began his career with Levy in 1988 as Vice President and General Counsel. He was promoted to Executive Vice President in 1991 and President and Chief Operating Officer in 1995 before taking on his role of CEO in 2004.
Under Andy’s leadership, Levy has continued to evolve its business and deliver world-class experiences. He launched E15, Levy’s analytics and technology subsidiary; oversaw the creation of Rank+Rally, expanding Levy into sports retail; and helped establish DBK Studio, Levy’s creative innovation studio.
Andy has been recognized throughout his career for his leadership and impact on the sports, entertainment, and hospitality industries. He is annually featured in Crain’s Chicago Business Who’s Who profile of the most impactful business leaders, was named to Sports Business Journal’s 2025 Influence 125 list, and the 2026 class of SBJ Champions, one of the most prestigious honors in the sports and entertainment business.
An active contributor to Chicago’s business and charitable communities, Andy serves on the University of Michigan’s LSA Dean’s Advisory Council and is a member of the World Presidents’ Organization. He also spearheaded the formation of Levy Cares, Levy’s charitable arm, which supports local children’s causes and provides food and shelter to those in need nationwide.
Andy’s personal passion for magic is woven into Levy’s entrepreneurial culture, inspiring team members to wonder, think creatively and develop new ideas.
I’ve been fortunate enough to serve on the DAC because of the value I place on a liberal arts education. In today’s increasingly complex world, teaching students to think critically across a broad spectrum helps them immeasurably over the course of their lifetimes.
