FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL

Brandt Flomer

An accomplished senior executive and consultant, Brandt has over 25 years of experience working in global organizations to envision and bring about technology-enabled change that helps incubate new ventures, reach new levels of performance, and fuel growth.

As the former Global Head of Digital Innovation at McKinsey & Company, he helped drive the digital transformation of that firm, leading cross-functional teams through the end-to-end reinvention of business operations and core experiences for clients and employees. This transformation also successfully nurtured new mindsets, capabilities, and ways of working. Results included improved levels of innovation, time to market, operational efficiency, employee productivity, customer satisfaction, and competitive differentiation.

Before McKinsey, Brandt worked at leading innovation consultancies and digital agencies, helping clients across a range of industries to better serve their customers and create award-winning, commercially successful new ventures. His approach is human-centered, data-informed, and highly collaborative, with a particular focus on building lasting institutional capabilities that can scale and sustain innovation.

An expert in customer experience and digital transformation, he has taught at Carnegie Mellon University and presented at corporate events and conferences including SxSW, Fast Company’s Innovation Festival, Forrester’s Customer Experience Summit, and World Usability Day. 

Our strengths

Beacon offers multidisciplinary expertise and capabilities informed by decades of experience working at the intersection of strategy, technology, design, operations, and marketing with some of the world’s most respected businesses and serial innovators.  

We have learned that breakthrough innovation is possible when these different capabilities and lenses are integrated with creativity and intention. A unique combination of traits enables us to catalyze organizational change and help ambitious leaders tackle their most critical challenges:

We create collaborative environments that bring a variety of functional expertise to the table and get them working together toward a human-centered and purpose-driven goal.

We are deeply curious, ready to embrace ambiguity, imagine possibilities, and eager to learn by doing. We derive insights from data and do our best thinking through making.

We think systematically, with the ability to break down complex problems and to identify previously unseen patterns and points of leverage.

We are excited about technology’s transformative potential—especially AI—but pragmatic about current capabilities and the imperative to keep humans at the center when creating new ways of working.
