Layercake, the company behind the intelligent media workflow platform Streamcake, today announced the appointment of Jon Marquard as director and chairperson. The appointment, the company said, is designed to strengthen its governance and positions it for the “next phase of global expansion.” Marquard is a media industry veteran, with a career spanning global sports rights, digital transformation and large-scale commercial partnerships worldwide. He brings a track record of advising broadcasters, telcos and sports organisations on complex, high-value media and technology initiatives. As chairperson, Marquard will work closely with Layercake’s executive team to shape strategic direction, support international growth and guide the company’s evolving partnership and commercial strategy. His appointment, the company said, “reinforces Layercake’s focus on building a globally scalable business underpinned by strong governance and deep industry expertise.” Throughout his career, Marquard has led and advised on media rights and distribution deals, including long-term partnerships with Optus across the English Premier League and major FIFA and UEFA competitions.
