Alison Levine
Daredevil Strategies

Levine is the founder and president of Daredevil Strategies, a consulting firm specializing in organizational effectiveness, leadership development and team dynamics. She was listed among the Top Business Leaders Under 40 in San Francisco and Most Interesting People in Arizona (her native state). Her 18-year business career encompassed healthcare, technology and finance, from Wall Street to California, where she served as deputy finance director for Arnold Schwartzenegger.

Levine has also established herself as one of the country's top female adventurers. Despite being born with a life-threatening heart condition and suffering from Raynaud's Disease, she has climbed six of the highest peaks in the world and was team captain of the first American Women's Everest Expedition in 2002. Levine also traveled across the Arctic Circle on skis for more than 100 miles to successfully reach the North Pole. In December 2007, she embarked on a new adventure and became the first North American to walk from the edge of the Antarctic ice shelf to the geographic South Pole.
