Founder & CEO

Oksana S. Levin is a former Wall Street Managing Director with more than two decades of leadership experience in private equity focused investment banking, leveraged finance, mergers & acquisitions, and corporate finance, with an exclusive focus on the global healthcare sector. 

She is the Founder and CEO of The Wall Street Shrink™, a behavioral risk infrastructure platform designed to stabilize decision-making in high-stakes environments.

During her tenure on Wall Street, Ms. Levin rose to one of the most coveted executive ranks in international banking — an achievement reflecting both her strategic rigor and her resilience as a first-generation immigrant who came to the United States close to thirty years ago in pursuit of the American Dream.

After achieving many of her professional ambitions, she redirected her expertise toward impact-driven work at the intersection of finance, psychology, social responsibility and human decision behavior.

Her advocacy for pro se litigants navigating complicated custody and financial matrimonial disputes before the Supreme Court of the State of New York, together with her strategic advisory work within oncology biotechnology ventures, reflects a rare combination of financial sophistication, ability to resolve complex situations and use her social conscience to mitigate risks within the acute adversarial and cross-functional dynamics.

In recognition of her professional accomplishments and academic work, Ms. Levin was named an Honored Listee in Marquis Who’s Who in America (2024) selected for her positions of responsibilities, achievement and distinct contributions to the American Society.

Beyond accolades, Ms. Levin’s work is driven by a deeper purpose: addressing one of the most overlooked risks in leadership and wealth environments — behavioral instability under pressure. During her years advising corporate boards, private equity investors, and founders, she observed that some of the most consequential threats to strategic outcomes were not financial or operational, but behavioral. The Wall Street Shrink™ platform was created to bring structure, measurement, and stabilization to this often invisible dimension of decision-making.
