Daniel Benjamin Nash, commonly known as Dan Nash, is a seasoned investment banker and entrepreneur who currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Silicon Valley Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: SVAQ), a special purpose acquisition company based in Palo Alto, California. Under his leadership, Silicon Valley Acquisition Corp. successfully raised $215 million in its December 2025 initial public offering and recently announced a definitive business combination with EigenQ, Inc., a technology company, in a deal valued at approximately $3.13 billion. Throughout his career, Nash has advised on more than $60 billion in announced transactions and over 55 business combinations, establishing himself as a prominent figure in the SPAC and broader capital markets landscape. He also oversees a strategic advisory relationship with Melbourne Capital Group to source high-growth opportunities across the Asia-Pacific region.
Prior to launching Silicon Valley Acquisition Corp., Nash was a Co-Founder and the Head of Investment Banking at Cohen & Company Capital Markets, a division of J.V.B. Financial Group, LLC, from February 2021 to June 2025. In this role, he directed all aspects of the investment banking practice, including mergers and acquisitions advisory, private capital markets, SPAC advisory, and private investments in public equity (PIPEs), while building one of the fastest-growing SPAC and crypto franchises on Wall Street. He also served as Chief Operating Officer of Columbus Circle Capital Corp I during his tenure at Cohen & Company. Before joining Cohen & Company, Nash spent two separate stints from 2014 to 2018 and 2019 to 2021 as the Global Head of Internet Investment Banking at Wells Fargo Securities. There, he significantly expanded the firm’s technology investment banking practice and served as lead banker on major transactions including Carvana’s IPO, Shift’s SPAC sale and PIPE, Rubicon’s private placement, and Cipher’s SPAC sale to Goodworks.
Nash’s career also includes significant operating experience. From 2018 to 2019, he served as Chief Financial Officer of Machine Zone, Inc. (MZ), a leading global mobile gaming company responsible for billion-dollar titles such as Final Fantasy XV, Mobile Strike, and Game of War. Earlier in his career, from 2006 to 2014, he held multiple positions at Bank of America and Bank of America Merrill Lynch, ultimately serving as Director of Internet Investment Banking. During his time at BofA Merrill Lynch, he worked on high-profile transactions including the landmark IPOs of LinkedIn and Facebook. His foundational career steps included roles as an analyst and manager at Riverstone Networks Inc. from 2000 to 2004, and as a financial analyst at Intel Corporation from 1999 to 2000.
Nash’s academic credentials are equally distinguished. He earned a Master of Business Administration from the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley, and holds a bachelor’s degree in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania. He also completed a General Course degree with a focus on Mathematics at the London School of Economics. In addition to his primary corporate roles, Nash joined the advisory board of VIMworld, a next-generation Smart NFT and DeFi ecosystem, in July 2021, bringing his deep expertise in high finance, gaming, and blockchain technology to the platform. He is a frequent speaker at industry events, including The SPAC Conference, where he has shared insights on de-SPAC processes, post-merger governance, and the future of the SPAC product.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0002076157 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 15 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 7 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
