Levy Global Support LLC

Levy Global Support (LGS) is an experienced partner for university and nonprofit leaders. We cut through the complexity and ambiguity of international operations. With better processes and infrastructure, your institution can remove obstacles, save time and money, and improve safety and compliance. Current and past clients include All Hands and Hearts, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston College, Dartmouth College, Drexel University, Harvard Medical School, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and others. We believe program success and risk reduction go hand-in-hand. Host-country requirements can be obstacles to success, but they don't need to be. With globally designed, robust systems and processes, we help you meet your constituents' needs — more quickly and responsibly. We know universities, NGOs, and other nonprofits and understand change comes slowly. That's why we work with you to understand the diversity of stakeholder views, and tailor our recommendations to your unique culture, objectives, and budget. When we design a solution, we stay attuned to what matters to your stakeholders. With careful planning, addressing challenges overseas doesn't need to create friction at home. Joseph Levy founded Global Support Services (GSS) at Harvard University and was Director from 2011 to 2016. GSS annually supports hundreds of projects and thousands of travelers across the university and around the world. Its staff advise on finance, HR, import/export, tax, safety, and visas, and provide 24/7 emergency management and in-country administration. Joe is a certified Global Professional in Human Resources (GPHR), a committee member of the Consortium of Universities for Global Health, and a leader in the growing community of global operations professionals at universities around the country. Years of experience have led to frameworks and solutions that work — and that can be tailored to different program sizes, risk tolerances, and budgets.
