DigitalBridge Group Business Summary

DigitalBridge Group, Inc. (DBRG) is a global alternative asset manager specializing in digital infrastructure, including hyperscale data centers, macro cell towers, fiber networks, and edge computing facilities. The company generates revenue through two primary segments: Digital Investment Management, which earns recurring management fees and performance-based incentive fees (carried interest) from institutional capital, and Digital Operating, which produces income from direct ownership stakes in platforms like DataBank and Vantage Data Centers. As of February 2026, the firm is transitioning toward a take-private acquisition by SoftBank Group in a deal valued at approximately $4 billion, aimed at scaling the physical infrastructure required for Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI). DigitalBridge competes directly with large-scale infrastructure investors such as EQT Partners, Stonepeak Partners, and Blackstone Infrastructure, positioning itself as a specialized pure-play operator with a high-density focus on the AI and 5G ecosystems. The firm was co-founded in 2013 by Marc C. Ganzi and Ben Jenkins, who originally established Digital Bridge Holdings before merging with the legacy Colony Capital in 2019 to execute a total strategic pivot toward digital assets. Marc Ganzi serves as Chief Executive Officer, leveraging over 30 years of sector experience including the founding of Global Tower Partners, while Ben Jenkins serves as President and Chief Investment Officer following a senior leadership tenure at The Blackstone Group. The executive leadership team includes Chief Financial Officer Thomas Mayrhofer, formerly a Partner at The Carlyle Group, and Chief Operating Officer Liam Stewart, previously of Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation. The company is supported by a board chaired by Nancy Curtin and has maintained notable institutional partnerships with firms such as Franklin Templeton, AustralianSuper, and Silver Lake.
