Who we are

John Levy: Founder and CEO

Benjie Levy: President and COO

Tom Hearne: CFO

A media industry entrepreneur, John founded theScore Television Network and grew it to become the largest independent sports TV network in Canada. By 2012 theScore was available in more than 6.6 million homes and, in October that year, John and his team executed the sale of Score Media’s television assets to Rogers Media and the spin-out of Score Media’s digital assets to Score Media’s shareholders into the mobile-first company theScore, Inc.

Benjie oversees the development and execution of theScore’s business strategy and has been instrumental in shaping its digital media offerings, including the creation and launch of theScore’s mobile apps. A graduate of the University of Toronto with a B.Com specializing in Finance, Benjie began his career as an investment banker in the Communications and Media group at BMO Nesbitt Burns in Toronto, prior to joining theScore in 2001.

Tom is responsible overseeing theScore’s financial performance. He joined theScore in 2008, having previously served as CFO for multiple Canadian hi-tech companies where he completed four IPO's, 10 financings with more $400 million raised, and eight M&A transactions.
