SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AXOM Partners today announced that Dan Sasi has joined the firm as a Partner, adding another deeply experienced technology M&A advisor to its growing team. Based in San Francisco, Dan will advise AXOM's clients on mergers, sales, acquisitions and other critical strategic advisory assignments.

AXOM Partners is excited to grow its team with Dan as the firm's newest partner during a very dynamic period in the technology M&A market.

Dan has spent 15 years advising technology leaders at defining moments for their companies across more than $110 billion in announced transactions including strategic acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, divestitures, takeover defense and strategic investments. His transaction experience includes Slack's sale to Salesforce, HashiCorp's sale to IBM, Paradox's sale to Workday and Apptio's sale to IBM, as well as take-private transactions involving Coupa, Anaplan and Cornerstone OnDemand.

I am excited to join the AXOM Partners team!"
