Bio
Steven Levine
I had the privilege of working with Max through Deck's work for Univision's Vote For Your America campaign in 2016. Never before have I worked with a more brilliant yet humble professional. Max's expertise brought our nonpartisan voter engagement campaign to new heights, enabling us to use state-of-the-art targeting techniques, powering our digital and mobile tools to perform better than anything on the market, and measuring the impact of our campaign in clear, compelling ways. I honestly cannot imagine executing this campaign without his ingenuity and support and I'm grateful we didn't have to. If you have a chance to work with Max, take it.
