Peter F. Mawn

Board Member

Oakmont Partners - Joined DWM May 2018

“We set the bar very high for ourselves when we decided to merge our firm. We wanted a partner who would continue to provide the highest level of care and service for our clients. A firm that would also value the contribution of our employees and provide them support and potential opportunity for advancement. But most importantly, we wanted to enjoy working every day with really good and talented people. People who shared our goals and values, in a collaborative environment based on mutual respect.

Dakota Wealth has met all our hurdles. Being a part of Dakota from the beginning has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. I consider myself very lucky to be a part of this great company and to work with the exceptional group of people who make Dakota the special firm that it is and will continue to be.”

“Like many sellers, I had plenty of suitors. I decided to join forces with Dakota Wealth because of our shared values, a common emphasis on diversity and next gen talent development, and mutual respect. Unlike many RIA’s, Dakota has a strategic plan for both organic and inorganic growth. And Dakota Wealth recognizes the importance of taking care of the team that cares for the clients.”
