Daniel Zamarin is the person at Merge who makes sure the numbers tell the right story. As a Finance and Diligence Manager, he leads financial modeling, valuation, and due diligence for transactions, helping agency founders understand exactly what their business is worth and guiding them through one of the most detail-intensive parts of the M&A process. He brings the analytical horsepower and the communication skills to make something complicated feel completely manageable.

What drew Daniel to M&A was simple: the opportunity to be at the forefront of something that genuinely changes people’s lives. Founders spend years, sometimes decades, building their businesses. Getting to be part of the moment when all of that hard work translates into a real outcome is something he never takes for granted.

Meticulous and communicative are the two words that define how Daniel works. He digs deep into the details so nothing gets missed, and he makes sure everyone involved always knows where things stand. His two non-negotiables? Clients come first, and responsiveness is everything. In a process where timing and trust matter just as much as the numbers, those two things make all the difference.

What excites Daniel most about Merge is the combination of people and purpose. He gets to work alongside a team he genuinely loves, meet founders with remarkable and wildly unique businesses, and play a real role in helping them reach a life-changing outcome. That mix keeps the work feeling meaningful every single day.

His colleagues would describe him as communicative, persistent, reliable, and diligent. Basically the exact person you want in your corner when a deal gets complex and the pressure is on.

Outside of work, Daniel is a man of many pursuits. He makes what his fiancée calls a restaurant-quality breakfast burrito, ranks every spot he visits on Beli, and somehow always lands the most impossible reservations in New York City. He has run the New York City Marathon twice, is a self-described aviation enthusiast, and bleeds Philadelphia sports through and through, which as anyone from Philly knows, requires its own kind of endurance.

At Merge, Daniel isn’t just running the numbers. He’s making sure founders walk into the most important deal of their lives fully prepared, fully informed, and fully supported.
