Hannah Sibel is dedicated to helping founders navigate one of the biggest transitions of their careers with clarity, confidence, and the right strategic fit. As an Acquisition Manager at Merge, she works with both sellers and buyers—guiding founders through the full M&A process while helping acquirers identify businesses that align with their long-term vision. For Hannah, it’s all about creating the right match and ensuring a seamless, supportive experience for everyone involved.

Drawn to M&A for its transformational impact, Hannah saw the opportunity to empower entrepreneurs through one of the most meaningful decisions of their careers. She was also inspired by the culture Amanda built at Merge, where innovation and founder-first thinking drive better deals and better outcomes.

Hannah brings leadership, determination, and strong people skills to every transaction, ensuring that both buyers and sellers feel heard, valued, and supported. She thrives on building relationships, structuring fair deals, and providing honest, transparent advice. One of her proudest moments? Closing a seven-figure deal for a client selling one of their portfolio companies, where she built strong relationships on both sides—proving that M&A isn’t just about numbers, but also about trust, collaboration, and the right fit.

Every day in M&A is different, and that’s exactly what Hannah loves about it. The fast-paced, ever-evolving nature of the industry keeps things exciting, and she thrives in a team that’s constantly innovating and redefining how agency founders approach major transitions.

Integrity is at the core of her work—from negotiating fair deals to providing candid advice that founders can truly trust. Reliable, encouraging, and direct, Hannah ensures every transaction is handled with expertise and care.

Outside of work, she’s always on the hunt for unique podcasts—whether it’s true crime, business insights, or niche deep dives. And when she’s not structuring deals, you can find her chasing an adrenaline rush on the scariest roller coasters she can find.

At Merge, Hannah isn’t just closing deals—she’s guiding founders toward their next chapter with confidence and integrity.
