N. Becker Chase

Back to team

Becker leads our data-driven origination, investment analysis, and corporate governance oversight. He is also responsible for managing the firm's investment themes. He serves as a director at RFCODE and VidSys, and observer at Cognitive Scale (former) and Razberi Technologies.

Prior to joining Chartline, Becker worked at Booz & Company where he was seconded to a private equity fund led by a former senior partner from Goldman Sachs and focused on global growth opportunities. Becker managed teams for origination, due-diligence, valuation and financial modeling, and presentations to the Investment Committee. His work covered energy, mining, infrastructure, media, and business services across North American, Brazil, and Asia.

Becker was also a management consultant with Booz & Company in the Energy, Chemicals, & Utilities Practice. At Booz, Becker served Fortune 500 executives in cost-cutting, marketing strategy, and operational improvements. Becker came to Booz through the acquisition of his prior firm, Katzenbach Partners in 2009.  Becker began his career as an apprentice at a New York litigation firm where he had the opportunity to write an appellate brief and sit “second chair” at a federal jury trial (representing a venture firm in breach of fiduciary duty case), which inspired his life-long commitment to helping companies successfully navigate through challenging periods in their lives.

Becker has a B.A. in Political Science from Columbia University and is an alumnus of Phillips Exeter Academy. He was chosen as a Carnegie New Leader in 2010, served as president of his cooperative board. Becker lives in New York City and is currently a Kauffman Fellow (Class 21).
