Beckett Layne

Leadership

Operators First. Investors Second.

We bring together operators, advisors, and partners who have built, led, and owned businesses across sports, media, consumer, and technology. Our network is an extension of our platform.

Founder & Chairman

Brandon Berger

Brandon Berger founded Beckett Layne after two decades building businesses, brands, and commercial platforms at the intersection of sports, consumer, media, and technology. As Global Chief Digital Officer at Ogilvy, he led digital transformation across more than 40 markets. As Chief Marketing Officer of Chelsea Football Club, he led global marketing, brand, and fan engagement for one of the most iconic sports organizations in the world.

Prior to founding Beckett Layne, Brandon served as Managing Director of a multibillion-dollar family office, overseeing a portfolio of public and private investments across sports, media, and technology. He subsequently led the acquisition of AC Monza from Fininvest — the holding company of the Berlusconi family — and currently serves as Managing Director of a $700 million foundation. This combination of operating, investment, and governance experience is the foundation our platform is built on.

Beckett Layne brings together a network of senior operators, advisors, and capital partners who share a conviction that strong brands, innovative technology, and deep relationships are the building blocks of enduring competitive advantage. We work as an integrated team — not a solo act.
