Patriots’ Owner Pushes for a German Debut
Before joining the private equity firm New 2nd Capital, accounting professional Kate Merli had a diverse career in venture capital, tax and SEC compliance, and valuation. Kate Merli spent more than a decade in the Boston area, graduating with a BS and MS from Bentley College. After graduating she worked for several Boston-based accounting firms, and is fan of the region's National Football League (NFL) team, the New England Patriots.
Patriots’ owner Robert Kraft hopes that worldwide interest in the NFL will grow as football teams play more games abroad. Since 2007, the NFL has held games in international venues in London and more recently in Mexico.
In an interview with a German magazine, Kraft expressed his desire for the Patriots to be the first NFL team to play on German soil, possibly in Berlin. In 2015, 6.6 million Germans identified themselves as American football fans, more than the number of fans in the United Kingdom. Kraft has also discussed the possibility of overseas games in France, China, Brazil, and Canada.
