Mike Levine
Financial services AI coaching, conversation intelligence, and performance intelligence. 20-year Fortune 50 veteran of Merrill Lynch and Bank of America. Now building the operating system that closes the gap between what leadership sees and what advisors actually do.
Mike Levine
I spent 20 years inside Fortune 50 financial institutions seeing the same gap everywhere: what leadership thinks is happening and what's actually happening. This gap is where execution breaks down. At Merrill Lynch, I understood this at scale as Director & Market Development Manager—FSA Advisory Council Vice Chair. I supported national scale to 3,000+ advisors and $500B+ in client assets. This is where I developed the core methodology that became BlueEye.
Before that: a top-tier wirehouse (Financial Advisor), ExxonMobil (Territory Manager, full P&L, 12 direct reports). I built BlueEye to close this gap. Same capabilities across financial services, technology, and growth-stage companies. I live at the intersection of Wall Street and Silicon Valley—not as two separate identities, but as one unified perspective.
