Seasoned tech-enabled services executive and former CEO of Sunstone portfolio company, Thirdera, to partner with founders and CEOs
SAN MATEO, Calif. — February 18, 2026 — Sunstone Partners, a growth-oriented private equity firm that invests in AI- and technology-enabled services and software companies navigating rapid shifts in automation, data platforms, and intelligent workflows, today announced that Jason Wojahn has joined the firm as an Operating Advisor.
In this role, Wojahn will work in close partnership with Sunstone’s Portfolio Operations Group to support founders and CEOs across the portfolio and help accelerate value creation. He will collaborate with teams to identify and execute priority initiatives, including serving as a board member or executive chairman, and providing strategic and operational counsel to leadership teams.
Sunstone’s Portfolio Operations Group supports portfolio companies with value creation expertise across growth acceleration, go-to-market strategy, human capital development, M&A execution, financial planning and analysis transformation, technology enhancements including AI enablement, intelligent workflow integration, and modernization of services delivery models. As part of this platform, Wojahn will bring an operator’s perspective to help portfolio leaders translate strategy into repeatable execution, especially through key growth inflection points.
Wojahn brings deep experience scaling global services organizations. He previously served as co-founder and CEO of Thirdera, a prior Sunstone Partners portfolio company that completed five acquisitions and was acquired by Cognizant in January 2024. He has also held senior leadership roles at Cognizant, Accenture, Cloud Sherpas, and IBM Global Services.
“Jason is exactly the type of operator we aim to partner with—high-integrity, founder-minded, and deeply experienced in building and scaling tech-enabled services businesses,” said Mike Biggee, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Sunstone Partners. “We saw his leadership firsthand during our work together at Thirdera, where Jason helped build a differentiated global platform through organic growth and strategic M&A. As enterprise services organizations adapt to AI-driven productivity gains and evolving buyer expectations, experienced operators who have scaled through transformation cycles are increasingly critical. We’re excited to bring Jason’s experience to more founders and CEOs across the Sunstone portfolio.”
“Sunstone has built a reputation for being a highly engaged, founder-friendly partner with a repeatable playbook for value creation,” said Jason Wojahn. “We’re at an inflection point in tech-enabled services. AI and agentic workflows are redefining how value is created, delivered, and scaled. The next generation of services leaders will blend human expertise with intelligent systems to drive both growth and margin expansion. I’m excited to partner with founders to build modern operating platforms combining disciplined execution, AI-enabled delivery, and strategic M&A to create durable enterprise value”.”
