Biography

Jonathan Levie is Professor of Entrepreneurship & Regional Development in the J.E. Cairnes School of Business & Economics in the University of Galway. He was formerly a Professor in the Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK, where he served as its first Director and subsequently as Director of Knowledge Exchange and Director of Teaching. He has held research and teaching posts at London Business School (UK), Babson College (US), INSEAD (France), and University College, Cork (Ireland).

Professor Levie was associate coordinator of Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) in its founding year and has served as an elected member of the board of GEM's governing body, the Global Entrepreneurship Research Association (GERA). He was a member of GERA's Research and Innovation Committee from 2012 to 2021 and project managed grants for GERA from the EC DG Employment, Social Affairs & Inclusion and from the EC DG Education and Culture. While at Strathclyde, he co-directed GEM in the UK with Professor Mark Hart of Aston Business School and served as Theme Leader on Research Theme 1 (Ambition and Growth) at the UK's Enterprise Research Centre.

Professor Levie has served as a member of an EC DG Employment expert panel on entrepreneurship and social exclusion and an EC DG Education and Culture expert panel on data and indicators on entrepreneurial learning. He was the Scottish universities representative on Scotland's MIT Regional Entrepreneurship Acceleration Program (REAP) core team, which engaged stakeholders nation-wide in a collective impact approach to enhancing the innovation-based entrepreneurship ecosystem in Scotland.

With Sharon Ballard, a US-based entrepreneur, he developed Supercoach Entrepreneurial Training: a set of coaching tools and techniques for coaching first-time entrepreneurs. He has coached entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship coaches in a wide range of sectors from agri-tourism to high technology in the US, Europe, the Middle East and East Asia. More recently, with Morven McLean, a colleague in Strathclyde Business School's Centre for Corporate Connections, he developed the Growth Advantage Programme for established entrepreneurs who wish to grow their business. This programme has recently been fully endorsed by the Scaleup Institute following a detailed impact assessment.

In 2019, with Professor Esther Tippmann, he co-founded the Centre for Entrepreneurial Growth & Scaling (CEGS) www.universityofgalway.ie/cegs at the J.E. Cairnes School of Business & Economics. CEGS focuses on research and outreach on scale-ups, scalability and scaling of entrepreneurial businesses and is a founder member of the European Scaleup Institute https://scaleupinstitute.eu. Professor Levie leads the Entrepreneurial Ecosystems research stream of the Atlantic Futures research consortium https://www.atlanticfutures.com. In 2020, he was the proposal lead for a successful 7.5 million euro university bid for funding under the Higher Education Authority's Human Capital Initiative. He now leads the curriculum work package of the programme, now known as Designing Futures, which integrates student success coaching, professional skills and transdisciplinary learning into the undergraduate student experience across the university.

Professor Levie's research has been published in in Journal of Management Studies, Research Policy, Journal of Business Venturing, Entrepreneurship Theory & Practice, Small Business Economics, Journal of Business Research, Family Business Review, and Academy of Management Discoveries among others.
