Biography
Daniel Philip Levy is an English businessman and the current chairman of Premier League football club Tottenham Hotspur. He has held this post since 2001, making him the longest-serving chairman in the Premier League.
Career
After graduating, Levy was involved in a number of business, including his family business, Mr Byrite, and property development. He went into investment banking, investing in private equity, raising money to invest in many different companies. He formed a business association with Joe Lewis in an investment trust called ENIC International Ltd and became its managing director in 1995. Levy turned ENIC into a sports, entertainment and media company. Levy and his family own 29.4% of the share capital of ENIC, while Lewis owns 70.6%.
ENIC bought shares in six European clubs, including a minority stake in Tottenham Hotspur. ENIC held a significant stake Scottish football club Rangers, and Levy was a director of the club until 2004.
ENIC also held stakes in AEK Athens, Slavia Prague, FC Basel and Vicenza, as well as non-football companies such as Warner Bros Restaurants and a Cambridge software company, Autonomy. He bought a significant stake in Tottenham Hotspur and became its chairman in 2001, but all other clubs were eventually sold due to UEFA rules not allowing clubs with the same owner to compete in the same competition.
