As a child, Levin lived in Salisbury, Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe).

Levin was born into an unobservant Jewish family and has since become a self-declare Liberal Jew.[4][3]
Levin is currently CEO of UBM plc, having succeeded Clive Hollick on April 5 2005. He was previously CEO of Symbian plc from April 2002 and he held senior positions at Psion, Euromoney Institutional Investor PLC, Apax Partners, Universal Grinding Wheels of Stafford and Bain & Company.[1][2][3]
Levin is married and has three sons.[3] He is on the finance committee of the Oxford University Press.[1] His brother Jeremy Levin was recently named CEO of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries,[5] the largest company in Israel by market cap.
