More about our values
Nina Dohr Pawlowitz, Founder and CEO of DC Placement Advisors
Nina Dohr Pawlowitz Founder & CEO, DC Placement Advisors

“When I founded DC Placement Advisors 18 years ago, my ambition was not simply to build a successful placement and advisory firm. I wanted to build a business defined by the quality of its relationships, the independence of its thinking and the responsibility we take for every mandate entrusted to us.

Markets change. Strategies evolve. But the principles on which strong partnerships are built remain remarkably constant.

For me, this means listening before advising, being clear even when the message is difficult, and treating our clients’ objectives with the same care and commitment as our own.

After 18 years, I remain personally involved in our business and deeply committed to these principles. They have shaped DC Placement Advisors from the beginning — and they will continue to guide how we work, how we grow and whom we choose to partner with.”
