Scott Levy spent two decades as an investment banker at firms like J.P. Morgan, advising corporate boards and senior executives on risk, growth, and capital decisions. Then he pivoted, serving on a public school board, teaching at Harvard, and writing Why School Boards Matter.
In this episode, we discuss:
How Levy broke into investment banking and the lessons that carried him through twenty years on Wall Street
What he learned about resilience, risk-taking, and long-term thinking at the highest levels of finance
Why he left a successful career to focus on public education and democracy
How business principles can, and cannot, be applied productively to education
What executives misunderstand about AI, and the questions they should be asking
