SASSATO HELPS HOTELS AND TRAVEL COMPANIES WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING, MARKETING, DISTRIBUTION, TECHNOLOGY, AND MORE

DAN WACKSMAN

Founder and Principal Consultant

With over 25 years of senior-level experience in marketing, travel, distribution, and technology, Dan Wacksman launched Sassato in 2019.

Sassato's mission is to help hotels and travel-related businesses fill the gap of having to quickly bring in capable and "ready to run" leaders to assess, recommend, and deliver on key initiatives, in strategic planning, marketing, distribution, technology, and implementations.

Think of Sassato as the Seal Team 6 of hospitality and travel (but much geekier), who can come in and quickly solve problems or rescue projects.

To put it simply, our approach can be summed up as "We Get Sh*t Done."

Talent as a Service

Lack of resources, an isolated approach, and internal politics often lead to projects, that either fail, do not fully realize their goals, or drag on longer than necessary.

We understand the travel and hospitality space and can quickly come in, ramp up, and execute.

We enable you to bring in an experienced leader without incurring the long-term cost of hiring a full-time employee.

ABOUT OUR NAME

Sassato is a Japanese word (さっさと); it is often translated as "quickly" but it is more nuanced than that.

A rough interpretation might be “Don’t waste time, just get it done,” and that is our philosophy. We strive to help companies quickly, efficiently, and effectively achieve their goals.
