Jonathan Levin, President
Jonathan Levin is a graduate of Stanford University. During his studies, Jonathan majored in International Relations, spending 6 months living and studying in Paris, France. After graduating from Stanford, Jonathan hit the road with a suitcase and airline tickets in hand to teach recruitment and risk management to undergraduate members of Alpha Epsilon Pi International Fraternity. After finally making it back to NYC, Jonathan spent 2 years working at Long Island City Business Development Corporation. This is where he developed first hand experience working in the non-profit world and serving the local business community in Long Island City, Queens. The next six years would entail working in the fashion industry in sourcing, production, and logistics. Building upon his international studies and love of cultures, Jonathan headed overseas to Hong Kong to manage a sourcing office for a Japanese textile company. It is during this time as Managing Director of Ribbtrim International Ltd. in Hong Kong, that Jonathan fine tuned his business skills and learned how to manage through experience. This would ultimately prepare him to establish Cardinal Trade Group, Inc. As its first endeavor CTG produced the September 14, 2010 Brooklyn Trade Show. CTG is now moving full steam ahead to produce local business to business events throughout the New York tri-state area.
