GUI COSTIN is the founder and CEO of Dakota, an investment services company that provides a full suite of products, services and technologies to help small to mid-size investment firms grow their businesses. Dakota recently launched Stage Investor Network, an online platform that connects institutional investors and asset managers using in-depth, high quality content that appeals to a generation of buyers who want to learn about investment strategies on their own time without having to initially talk to anyone.

“Without the longstanding, extraordinary people we have at Dakota, we’d be a fraction of our current selves. It’s all about the people you have on your team and how you treat them.”

Gui is a graduate of the University of Virginia and lives in Bryn Mawr, PA with his wife, three kids and three dogs.
