Recently, Levick was awarded a Golden SABRE award for Crisis Campaign of the Year for its work on behalf of Heartland Payment Systems. Heartland was at the center of what investigators believed was the world’s largest data breach. In the months since the breach Heartland’s leadership turned a crisis into an opportunity and became an advocate for better data encryption standards and tougher security measures to thwart cyber criminals. Mr. Maloni managed the Levick team throughout this campaign.
