About Asit Sahoo

I combine investment-banking discipline with operating execution — translating financial rigor into scalable growth and enterprise value.I began my career in investment banking at Nomura and strategy consulting at EY, supporting and analyzing M&A and financing transactions (~$60 B aggregate exposure) and advising technology-media clients on growth, capital allocation, and digital-transformation initiatives. Those early years built the analytical and commercial foundation that now shapes how I evaluate and scale businesses.Over the last decade, I’ve applied that foundation to operating roles across data, SaaS, and digital-infrastructure platforms — helping build and grow enterprise businesses:Iron Mountain | Current — Co-led the launch of DXP 2.0, embedding AI and automation across a $330 M ARR enterprise platform; upgraded the IDP suite with GenAI to boost adoption and throughput; collaborate directly with the CTO/CPO on product-led growth and investment priorities.Equifax | 2021 – 2022 — Built and executed commercial strategy for a $120 M B2B unit; launched data products generating $20 M+ ARR and integrated a $15 M acquisition delivering ~ 25 % revenue synergy.Flexport | 2022 – 2023 — Developed a 3-year roadmap targeting ~$50 M ARR and 100 enterprise clients for the Beneficial Cargo Owner platform.Florentine | Founder (2016 – 2019) — Founded and scaled a consumer-products brand to 100 K+ households and $600 K revenue with 200 % YoY growth; achieved profitability within six months.Today I focus on where capital and technology converge — how investments in AI and digital-infrastructure translate into margin expansion and sustainable returns.I bring:• Financial judgment — grounded in deal analysis, valuation, and capital structure.• Operating depth — hands-on experience scaling $300 M+ ARR businesses and 0 → 1 products.• Strategic perspective — a view that links product performance to enterprise value. Open to conversations with growth-equity and private-equity investors, operating partners, and founders building at the intersection of AI, data infrastructure, and digital-infrastructure assets.
