He reports to Mudrick Capital chief executive Jason Mudrick.
“Philipp has been an integral part of our business from the start and we are pleased that he has formally joined the Mudrick Capital team,” says Mudrick. “He will be a valuable asset as we continue to grow and diversify our investor base globally.”
Levy has more than 25 years of experience working in financial markets in New York, London and Zurich, selling a variety of financial products including hedge funds, private placements and venture capital funds to institutional investors globally.
“Jason has a proven track record, a well defined investment process and has built a world class team to execute the strategy. The demand for our offering is steadily increasing as we continue to grow and I am very excited of our prospects going forward,” says Levy.
Prior to joining Mudrick Capital, Levy was the founder and managing partner at EastView Advisors, a New York based hedge fund consulting and marketing firm that represented Mudrick Capital exclusively.
