OUR NEW YORK TEAM
Brenda E. Levis, President
Citing a void in the New York Tri-State market for reasonably priced, high quality,
destination services providers, Brenda was inspired to start up her own company.
Prior to this she served as the Global Relocation Manager for Lehman Brothers in
New York City, where she managed the firm’s domestic and international relocation
departments as well as its corporate housing program. Brenda has twenty five
years of international work/study experience, and fifteen years experience working
in the expatriate services industry. Having lived in Switzerland, France, Germany
and the Netherlands, she has first hand knowledge of the challenges of an
international move.
Prior to joining Lehman Brothers, Brenda served as an International Relocation
Consultant on site at Goldman Sachs. This was preceded by tenure with an
international moving & relocation company in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Brenda
has been a featured speaker at numerous relocation events including the Tri-State
Relocation Association, and served on the International Assignment Committee for
the Employee Relocation Council. Having lived in Brooklyn and Westchester County,
NY, she now makes her home in Manhattan.

Michelle Hennessey, VP, Director of Operations
The daughter of a Foreign Service officer, Michelle’s experience living abroad began
when she was just four years old with the family’s first assignment in Paris, France.
Her passion for foreign cultures and languages only grew stronger with each new
assignment and this led her to focus her studies and her career on working with the
international community. Michelle returned to France 20 years later where she
obtained her Master’s degree in International Relations from the University of Paris
and gained valuable work experience with the International Chamber of Commerce,
UNESCO and the European Union. Michelle speaks and writes French fluently.
When Michelle moved back to the U.S. in 1998, she began her career in the
relocation industry with Berlitz International in New York City where she managed
key global accounts and was responsible to expanding and nurturing the company’s
third party relationships. In this role, she worked closely with human resources
executives to provide customized services for their expatriate populations and
helped to ensure the smoothest possible transitions for their people.
A Manhattanite for 8 years, Michelle now lives in Fairfield, CT with her husband
Tom, daughter Aubrey, and their beloved Welsh Cardigan Corgi Hank.

Meaddows Ryan, Accounting Services
Having moved to Manhattan when she was seven, Meaddows is our most
seasoned New Yorker. During her youth her family moved throughout many
neighborhoods within the city, including the Upper West Side, the Upper East Side,
Spanish Harlem, Midtown, Hell’s Kitchen, Chelsea, and even the Diamond District!
Meaddows spent most of her leisure time in the West Village, Soho and Tribeca,
and as a result has a real sense of the many varying moods and characteristics of
the City.
To foster her love of cooking, Meaddows began her career in the restaurant and
hospitality field, and worked in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and on the Connecticut
shoreline. Desiring more business experience, she ventured into a sales support
and office management position for a major jewelry manufacturer in NYC. This led
to eight years in the jewelry business, with responsibilities such as running around to
factories with trays of diamonds, merchant negotiations, and managing national
sales orders for major department stores.
When Meaddows son was born, she opted for work life balance and in 1998 left the
jewelry industry to offer bookkeeping, financial management and organizational
services to businesses. In 2008 Meaddows started working with NYC Navigator
and has since become a vital team member. She enjoys her diverse and fast-
paced responsibilities. Meaddows currently resides in Westchester County, NY and
enjoys spending time with her son, sailing, and fishing.
