Timeline
Bruce Levenson (born October 1, 1949) is an American businessman, former NBA team owner, and philanthropist. He was a co-owner of Atlanta Hawks, LLC (formerly Atlanta Spirit LLC), which owns and operates the Atlanta Hawks basketball team and Philips Arena. Levenson has also served as the Hawks' Governor on the NBA Board of Governors since 2004. Levenson co-founded United Communications Group (UCG) in 1977. He was a founding board member and is on the Board of Directors for the publicly traded TechTarget, an IT industry media company.
Levenson co-founded United Communications Group (UCG) with Ed Peskowitz in 1977. Based in Gaithersburg, Maryland, Levenson and Peskowitz started the company in Levenson's apartment, publishing a newsletter, Oil Express, focusing on developments in the oil industry. UCG acquired other newsletters and launched databases including Oil Price Information Service (OPIS). UCG was a privately held business information company that specialized in data, news, and analysis for healthcare, energy, mortgage banking, technology, telecommunications, and other industries. UCG also owned and operated GasBuddy, a mobile application that assists drivers in finding local low gas prices.
Levenson was an adviser for BIA Digital Partners, a private equity firm. He has also was on the Board of Directors of the Newsletter and Electronic Publishers Association (NEPA), and was inducted into the Software and Information Industry Association's Hall of Fame in 1997 with Ed Peskowitz for their work with UCG.
Levenson is a founding board member and on the Board of Directors of TechTarget. The company spun out of development under UCG and Levenson served as a director of the company from its founding in 1999 until 2012.
In 2004, Atlanta Spirit LLC, now known as Atlanta Hawks LLC, was formed to buy the Atlanta Hawks from Turner Broadcasting. Levenson and Ed Peskowitz are majority partners of Atlanta Hawks, LLC, a group of businessmen who collectively own the Atlanta Hawks professional basketball team and Philips Arena. The purchase originally included the Atlanta Thrashers as well, but the group sold the NHL team in 2011. Levenson was the team's managing partner and a member of the NBA Board of Governors.
In 2010, Levenson and his wife spearheaded the development of the Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership at the University of Maryland and provided seed funding to the institution that educates students on how to run nonprofit organizations and engages the university to inform and motivate philanthropic activities. The University later launched the Do Good Institute, which works to find the next generation of nonprofit leaders. It was established through $75 million of state funding and donations from the Levenson Family.
In 2012, Levenson hired Danny Ferry as the Hawks general manager and president of basketball operations. Previously, Ferry played for the Cleveland Cavaliers and later served as the general manager for the Cavaliers and was the vice president of operations for the San Antonio Spurs before going to the Hawks.
In April 2013, Levenson was one of 100 prominent American Jews who sent a letter to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urging him to "work closely" with Secretary of State John Kerry "to devise pragmatic initiatives, consistent with Israel's security needs, which would represent Israel's readiness to make painful territorial sacrifices for the sake of peace."
In March 2014, Levenson and his wife accompanied the Hawks basketball team and staff to the U.S. Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. Levenson's mother-in-law Irene Boyarsky, a Holocaust survivor, also attended the trip with the team. Levenson spoke with the team about her experiences before and during the tour.
Later in 2014, Levenson announced his plans to sell his share of the ownership group after self-reporting an email sent in August 2012 discussing the Hawks' African-American fan base. Levenson coordinated the sale of the team through the help of an investment banking firm.
In 2015, Levenson and his wife Karen were chairs of the John F. Kennedy Center's Concert Against Hate in Washington, D.C.. The concert, benefiting the Anti-Defamation League, pays tribute to individuals who have stood up to hatred and bigotry. The event established the "Levenson Family Defender of Democracy Award", which recognizes public servants who act courageously in defense of our democratic values. The first award was given to Mayor Michael Signer of Charlottesville.
