Dr. Barry Levitt

Barry Levitt, Chief Financial OfficerMember of Advisory Board

Barry Levitt has been the CFO of Beverly Kaye & Associates ever since its inception in 1979.However, for 31 years, his day job was as a bona fide rocket scientist engaged in communications research at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.Hard pressed to handle the day-to-day financial operations of BKA in his spare time, Barry was thrilled when Nanci Hendrickson, the VP of Finance, took over that job in 1996.

After taking early retirement from JPL in 2001, Barry was again available to play a more active role in our organization.As CFO he is ultimately responsible for the economic health and long-term financial planning for the enterprise.He also took over the task of creating and maintaining this website several years ago, during which time his web design skills have increased steadily.

Barry is formally Dr. Barry Levitt, having acquired his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from MIT in 1971.During his "other life" at JPL, he contributed to the design of telecommunications links for unmanned satellite missions and did fundamental research on advanced communications techniques for the Defense Department.And he fondly recalls being one of the original members of the technical team supporting the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI).

During his communications career, he co-authored a ground-setting book in his field entitled Spread Spectrum Communications, and he published and presented over 40 technical papers based on his research.However, he readily admits that his life is much more enjoyable now.
