Our Leadership

Chris Weil

  • Previously Chris spent 20+ years as Chairman & CEO of Momentum Worldwide where he oversaw the company’s growth from two offices to 30 around the globe and led the company to be one of the largest and most-awarded sports and brand experience agencies in the world.

    In 2007, Weil coined the term “Phygital” as a way to describe the intersection between physical and digital ecosystems where all brand experiences lie.

    Accolades include Weil being named one of the top 100 People Who Make Advertising Great by the American Association of Advertising Agencies (4A’s), and under Weil’s leadership at Momentum, the agency was concurrently named Best Sports Marketing Agency, Best Experiential Agency, Best Place to Work, and Agency of the Year 41 times around the globe.

    Weil was the first non-traditional advertising executive—and the youngest ever elected—to serve as chairman of the 4A’s. During his two-year term, Weil was instrumental in launching the organization’s High School Initiative and was later named chairman of the High School Initiative Board. In this role he worked closely with the first two New York public schools to offer comprehensive vocational training for advertising and media careers, and allowed diverse new talent the opportunity to join the advertising and marketing worlds.Outside of HS&E, Weil serves as a Board Member for both HighPost Capital and consumer product company, Magic Spoon.

    Weil lives with his wife and two daughters in New York.

David Levy

  • Long regarded as one of the media industry’s most influential executives, David Levy currently serves as the co-CEO and founder of Horizon Sports & Experiences – HS&E. HS&E has a core focus on IP creation, and monetization, strategic advisory and consulting media rights, sponsorships, sales and experiential. Prior to HS&E, Levy served as President of Turner, offering content and advertising solutions to some of the most valuable brands in the world to audiences in sports, entertainment, news and children’s programming.

    In his capacity as President, Levy oversaw Turner’s leading portfolio of domestic entertainment, sports, kids and young adult networks and businesses, including TBS, TNT, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Boomerang, truTV, Turner Classic Movies, Bleacher Report and Turner Sports. He also led Turner’s two domestic revenue divisions – ad sales and distribution. During his 30-year tenure at Turner, Levy assumed executive oversight for increased investment in original premium content across the portfolio, and in 2018, Turner programming was nominated for 33 Emmy Awards.

    Levy’s Turner Sports accomplishments were many since assuming leadership of the division in 2003. He was instrumental in deepening and expanding Turner’s media rights and defining the division via its association with premium sports content, brands and events, including the NBA, Major League Baseball and the PGA Tour. He negotiated a variety of multi-faceted agreements, each representing a significant change extending far beyond traditional television rights. In 2010, Levy orchestrated a landmark NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball deal, partnering with CBS for multi-media rights, including exclusive televised rights to the 2014 Final Four and National Championship Game in 2016. This marked the first time in the event’s history that these key games were televised by a cable network. In 2017, under Levy’s guidance, Turner added to its portfolio of premium sports properties by acquiring rights to UEFA, including UEFA Champions League, Europa League and the UEFA Super Cup. All were launched on B/R Live, the company’s direct to consumer offering.

    Levy also led a significant expansion in digital media and new businesses designed to grow Turner’s portfolio. In 2012, he spearheaded Turner’s efforts in acquiring the Bleacher Report, a leading online multi-sport destination. In 2015, Turner purchased a majority stake in streaming video pioneer iStreamPlanet, expanding capabilities to offer live events and cultivate future digital opportunities. Adding to the mix, in 2016, Turner launched ELEAGUE, a new professional esports league created in partnership with WME/IMG, and FilmStruck, the company’s first U.S. domestic subscription video-ondemand (SVOD) service. It quickly followed in 2017 with Boomerang, its second SVOD offering. Additionally, David supported strategic investments in Refinery29 and Mashable, and championed new business alliances with Snapchat and Twitter.

    David Levy has been the recipient of multiple awards for his professional achievement, including being elected to the Broadcasting & Cable Hall of Fame in 2012 and being named in 2018 by Sports Business Journal as one of the most influential executives over the past 20 years. In 2016, JDRF, the leading research and advocacy organization funding type 1 diabetes, honored Levy and his wife Niki, with the organization’s annual Humanitarian of the Year Award.
