Dave Levine is a veteran of the healthcare media industry with more than four decades of experience leading digital innovation, multimedia program development, and compliant content strategy for pharmaceutical, medical device, and healthcare audiences. His work spans the full continuum of medical communications—from educational design and regulatory alignment to brand storytelling and digital transformation.
Dave is best known for his leadership as Chief Product Officer (CPO) at BMC (Bryn Mawr Communications), where he helped guide the company’s evolution from a traditional print publisher to a digital-first media organization. In this executive role, Dave led product development across a broad portfolio of medical brands and was responsible for the strategy, pricing, and execution of custom digital programs and editorially aligned sponsorships. He partnered with internal teams and client companies to build high-performing, audience-centered offerings that addressed both educational and commercial goals.
A defining moment in his tenure came during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under Dave’s direction, BMC launched a rapid and effective pivot to digital-first publishing—especially in ophthalmology—helping preserve advertiser investment and audience engagement during a time of global uncertainty. This swift response reinforced BMC’s role as a trusted partner for the medical community and secured continuity of care-focused information when it was most needed.
In addition to driving content strategy, Dave also acted as the company’s lead on compliance-related issues, advising stakeholders on U.S. and international regulations governing sponsored content, eDetailing, and promotional media. He managed contract negotiations, including Master Services Agreements and NDAs, and oversaw internal training to ensure regulatory adherence across departments.
Prior to joining BMC, Dave served as Managing Director of Multimedia Program Development at Advanstar Communications from 2004 to 2009. In this leadership role, he was responsible for creating and scaling multimedia formats across therapeutic areas and specialties, blending editorial excellence with emerging digital delivery platforms.
Earlier in his career, Dave co-founded Media By Design, a Princeton, NJ-based consultancy focused on developing clear, compelling, and clinically grounded content for the life sciences. As Partner and Executive Producer, Dave collaborated with pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies to design targeted learning and marketing programs. His work helped translate complex subject matter into formats that were effective for physicians, sales teams, technologists, patients, and caregivers alike. Notably, Dave served as a longtime consultant to Siemens Medical Systems, where he played a transformative role in migrating clinical applications training in MRI, CT, ultrasound, and x-ray from in-person instruction to scalable, multimedia formats. This work not only reduced costs and travel burden for hospitals and providers but also improved consistency and reach—setting a new standard for digital training in medical imaging long before widespread adoption of e-learning.
Dave began his career in broadcast medical education serving as Vice President of Programming at the Healthcare Information Network. There, he managed daily content production for a satellite-delivered CME service that reached more than 800 hospitals and healthcare systems across the country. He was responsible for selecting faculty, curating therapeutic themes, and overseeing the development of high-quality video-based clinical education during the pre-internet era. This early work laid the foundation for his career-long commitment to using media as a tool for engagement, education, and improved care.
Over the years, Dave has worked across a wide range of therapeutic areas, including ophthalmology, dermatology, aesthetics, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and women’s health. He is known as a collaborative, solutions-oriented leader who understands the needs of both scientific and commercial teams—and can speak the language of both. His expertise is especially valued by teams looking to develop innovative, compliant content strategies or improve cross-functional collaboration across marketing, medical affairs, and commercial operations.
Dave holds a B.A. from Rutgers University.
Recently, Dave has also pursued a parallel interest in travel, working as a professional travel advisor affiliated with FORA. While this venture is distinct from his healthcare work, it reflects the same strengths he’s known for: thoughtful planning, logistical precision, and a passion for creating meaningful experiences.
Outside of work, Dave is an avid explorer of history, culture, and cuisine, with a particular love for European destinations. He lives in Black Mountain, North Carolina, where he also has launched a series of European Wine Vacations with a local fine dining restaurant. He is the author of Curated Travels, a LinkedIn newsletter chronicling destination insights and memorable journeys.
