Scott brings a rare combination of technology investing experience, corporate development leadership and deep relationships across the technology ecosystem, coupled with firsthand perspective on the AI and infrastructure trends shaping the enterprise. We’re thrilled to welcome him to FTV to help us further expand the GPN and elevate the impact of our business development efforts.”

Levine brings more than two decades of experience at the intersection of technology investing, corporate development and strategic partnerships, with deep expertise across enterprise software, AI and cloud. Most recently, he drove corporate development and M&A initiatives for Amazon Web Services, focusing on strategic growth areas including AI infrastructure, semiconductors, energy, cloud migration, storage, supply chain and quantum computing. Previously, Levine held senior investment and corporate development roles at Samsung, Time Warner, Sony Music Entertainment and General Atlantic.

“Throughout my career, I have seen firsthand the influence that enterprise connectivity and market intelligence have in helping technology companies grow and scale,” said Levine. “FTV has built a truly differentiated platform through its Global Partner Network, and I look forward to working with the firm’s best-in-class business development team to build on that strong foundation, deepen engagement with enterprise technology leaders and translate the strength of FTV’s ecosystem into tangible value for the firm and its portfolio companies.”
