Foran has over 25 years of experience scaling sales organizations and driving revenue growth across organizations, including Yelp, Outbrain, and Yahoo.

Prior to Yelp, Foran led a global GTM team as CRO at Outbrain and led sales for Quigo through a successful acquisition to AOL in 2007. 

“I’m eager to join Bevi at such an exciting time of expansion,” says Foran. “Bevi’s innovative approach to hydration and its strong commitment to sustainability truly set it apart in the market. I look forward to working with this talented team to accelerate growth and redefine the beverage industry.”

Levesque has also held roles within marketing and strategic sales within SharkNinja and Staples, Inc.

“I am thrilled to join Bevi at this exciting time. I cannot wait to put my love for the product development space to work with a company with such a strong vision rooted in sustainability and eliminating single-use disposable bottles – combining my work with my passion for purpose-driven organizations is a dream come true.” says Levesque.

He sits on the D’Amore-McKim School of Business Management Advisory Board at Northeastern University; previously served as an elected Town Meeting Representative; and has held board and executive roles with Boston-based non-profits. He enjoys spending time with his wife, children, and two dogs.

Over the past decade, Bevi has scaled from a startup to a Series D, branching out into new verticals, expanding its product offerings, and significantly increasing its employee headcount, creating a strong foundation for future growth.
