Hasie Sherman puts relationships first when supporting agency founders through one of the biggest decisions of their careers. As an Acquisition Associate at Merge, she takes the time to learn each founder’s story, celebrate everything they’ve built, and help them find the next chapter that’s right for them. For Hasie, it’s about bringing structure to a complex process while making sure founders feel informed and supported every step of the way.

As a founder herself, Hasie knows firsthand how much time, passion, and hard work goes into building a business, and that’s what first drew her to M&A. She loves getting to know founders, hearing the stories behind what they’ve created, and helping them recognize the value of their work as they take the next step in their journey. She brings a combination of organization and relationship-building to every deal, and counts helping founders navigate a successful sale, especially when months of collaboration come together into a positive experience, among the moments she’s most proud of.

What excites Hasie most about working at Merge is the people. She’s found the team to be collaborative, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping founders succeed, an environment where she’s constantly learning and every day brings something new. Connection is the value that guides her work; she believes great work starts with great relationships, and that getting to know the person behind the business builds the trust that leads to better outcomes for everyone. Colleagues would describe Hasie as relationship-oriented and organized, someone who strives to make everyone feel seen, valued, and supported.
