Angela Dailey, Managing Partner/ Executive Director

DAI Partners, and Women Investing in Security and Education (WISE), Huntington Beach

Angela Z. Dailey has been breaking glass ceilings her entire career and contributing to the advancement of inclusion and diversity by both example and actions through her business and community involvement. Dailey began her career at a small investment bank that became one of the most powerful and controversial firms on Wall Street. In recognition of her contributions to the firm's growth and subsequent crisis management, she was appointed to the Board of Directors, one of the first women to join the board of a prominent investment firm. In 1990 Dailey became an entrepreneur forming DAI Partners, a strategic communications firm offering services to C-suite executives. The firm quickly attracted a roster of top tier financial firms. Serving as managing partner, she has provided leadership for the firm to prosper over 30 years. Clients included many women CEOs, who were powerful forces for diversity and inclusion. Eager to help advance this agenda, Dailey and her partners conceived the groundbreaking series, Tearing Down the Pink Wall, to showcase prominent women in finance, educate and inspire women to reach their full potential.
