    General Manager
    Rooster Teeth Sep 2019 - Aug 2024
    Austin, Los Angeles
    Levin was recruited by WarnerMedia leadership and the company’s founders to stabilize and restructure Rooster Teeth after years of aggressive investment fueled speculative growth initiatives. Under his leadership, the company implemented operational rigor, introduced best practices around culture, and explored strategic alternatives for integration and sales options. In addition to tactical changes, he also accelerated key growth areas, including podcasting and third-party studio production, ensured value preservation of its core businesses and revenue streams, and created the celebrated Rooster Teeth Digital Content Creators program in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery’s Access team. A dynamic media and entertainment company, Rooster Teeth built a rabidly passionate community of engaged fans around the world with original content that drove a diversified business model of direct subscription membership, advertising sales and sponsorships, content production, licensing and distribution, events, and e-commerce revenue, all which Levin oversaw. Ongoing corporate ownership and management churn, along with the challenging economics underpinning the contracting entertainment and digital media landscape, culminated in Levin leading the company’s eventual wind-down and both the meaningful corporate integration and external sale of the company’s premium proprietary assets, including The Roost, the company’s top 10 podcast network to Night Media, and RWBY, the company’s global anime franchise to VIZ Media.
