Mr. Levis brings 40 years of experience to KYield in operations research, advisory, and execution of large enterprise systems. He is a fellow of the Institute for Operations Research and Management Sciences (INFORMS), receiving their prestigious Kimball Medal and President's Award. He has also been an adviser for many organizations, including the United States Census Bureau.
