About
Sean McKenna is a founder and SaaS operator with deep expertise in human capital management (HCM), integrations, and compliance software. He founded DataFuZion HCM, building a specialized technology platform to manage complex payroll, compliance, and data integrations across multiple systems and verticals.
Under Sean’s leadership, DataFuZion developed a robust product suite that addressed hard problems—certified payroll reporting, union wage logic, incentive payments, general ledger mapping, and custom analytics—in industries like construction, government contracting, manufacturing, and more. Sean’s ability to productize complexity and align with enterprise needs positioned DataFuZion as a strategic acquisition target.
Today, Sean advises founders in the WorkTech, compliance, and enterprise SaaS domains—helping them refine product-market fit, architect scalable systems, and position their businesses to be compelling to strategic acquirers.
“I believe that when you build deeply for the hardest problems in regulated industries, you create defensibility and long-term value. Exits come when you’ve created something indispensable to large customers.”

Previous Exits
DataFuZion HCM to Ceridian / Dayforce
Valuation: 8-Figures
In November 2021, Ceridian (now operating under Dayforce) acquired substantially all of the assets of DataFuZion HCM, the company founded by Sean McKenna. DataFuZion’s technology offered deep specialization in compliance, integration, and reporting—capabilities that extended Dayforce’s reach into verticals with complex payroll and regulatory demands. The deal bolstered Ceridian’s product offering in regulated industries while providing Sean and his team with a platform to scale their vision within a leading HCM ecosystem.
