During this transition, I had the opportunity to meet members of DVI's Board of Managers and the Leadership Team. I was impressed with the maturity of the company, the dedication to clients, the governance framework, the success sharing, and the commitment to developing the team. The firm culture is unrivaled. The rest is history.
