Biography
Over the last six years, Heather Levine has coached hundreds of small business owners during open office hours, one-on-one engagements and workshops held in the neighborhoods. Prior to that, Levine worked as a real estate attorney who successfully oversaw the leasing process from start to finish, including developing and maintaining relationships with small business owners, Fortune 500 companies and luxury European retailers. Levine drafted, negotiated, and reviewed 500+ contracts annually under strict deadlines.
Levine loves coaching small business owners because she has been in their shoes and understands the challenges of running a small business. As a business owner, Levine and her husband have opened four new businesses over the last 11 years (two restaurants and two cocktail bars). This included acquiring liquor licenses, negotiating lease agreements, managing the construction and permitting processes, and hiring and training employees.
