Unpacking the Board Perspective with Dail St. Claire

Today we’re sitting down with Dail St. Claire, an investor, business advisor, board director and audit committee member. She is the co-founder of Williams Capital, the largest women and minority-owned broker-dealer investment bank in the U.S., and is also the founder and CEO of St. Claire Consultants. She focuses primarily on advising private equity and venture capital funds, climate tech, and fintech companies, institutional investors, and family offices.

We discuss how the pillars of ESG have been with her from a very young age and throughout her career, how she ensures everyone she works with has a clear understanding of what ESG actually is and its connection to risk management, and get an inside perspective of what is currently being discussed in the boardroom. We also unpack why companies are staying private longer, her view on inflation and interest rates post-pandemic, and her thoughts on what has and hasn’t changed after the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on affirmative action.
