Sales leader honored for driving AI transformation and accelerating growth across the organization
Barton Associates proudly announces that Dan Bassani, Vice President of Sales, has been named to Staffing Industry Analysts’ (SIA) 2025 40 Under 40 list, recognizing the next generation of leaders shaping the future of staffing through innovation, performance, and vision.
Since joining Barton in 2012, Bassani has been instrumental in driving company growth and modernizing sales operations. His leadership has helped expand market share, build high-performing teams, and introduce artificial intelligence (AI) across the sales organization to enhance speed, precision, and results.
“Dan is a bold, outcomes-focused leader who challenges convention to unlock new potential,” said April Hansen, CEO of Barton and Associates, Inc., the parent company of Barton Associates and Wellhart. “His ability to lead through change, energize teams, and implement scalable, tech-forward strategies has positioned Barton for long-term success. This recognition is well deserved.”
Bassani joined Barton as an account manager and quickly distinguished himself as a high-impact leader. As Director of Sales and Recruiting in Tempe, Arizona, he expanded the firm’s regional presence and delivered a 15% increase in sales. Now, as Vice President of Sales, he has led the rollout of AI-powered tools that have transformed team collaboration and operational efficiency—reinforcing Barton’s reputation as a technology-driven force in the locum tenens industry.
“I’m honored to be recognized alongside such an impressive group of leaders,” said Bassani. “This milestone reflects not just my personal journey, but Barton’s deep commitment to innovation, excellence, and the people who make it possible. I’m excited to continue pushing boundaries and delivering impact.”
