elvex

John Levitt is the Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of elvex, the enterprise AI orchestration platform that helps companies accelerate AI adoption while maintaining security, governance, and ease of use. Founded in 2023, elvex has quickly established itself as a leader in enterprise AI management, working with customers like The Boston Globe, McClatchy, WordPress VIP, and Movable Ink, among others.

At elvex, John leads operations and is focused on enabling non-technical employees to easily create, use, and share AI assistants across entire organizations. The platform's model-agnostic approach allows enterprises to build business logic once and seamlessly switch between AI providers as new models are released, providing strategic flexibility in a rapidly evolving landscape.

Prior to co-founding elvex, John spent 12 years as General Manager at Parse.ly, the leading content analytics platform that he helped build through its acquisition by Automattic in 2021. Parse.ly became a trusted partner to major media organizations including The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, Conde Nast, and Hearst. During this time, John was also an ONA NYC organizer and has attended every ONA since 2013!

John holds a degree from the University of Florida and is based in New Jersey. He is passionate about making AI accessible to business practitioners, not just developers, and removing the bottlenecks that prevent organizations from realizing AI's full potential.
