In an episode of The Zurich Project Podcast, presented by MOI Global, Don Dillon discusses his path in entrepreneurship and investing. Don shares the perspective of a business owner and operator who makes private and public company investments within a loosely defined family office structure.
Don serves as President and Principal of DAJA Holdings Inc. based in Santa Monica, California. DAJA is a family investment vehicle focused on investments within Opportunity Zones and special situations. Don also serves on the Board of Trustees for the Glaziers, Painters, and Floorcoverers Pension Fund, as President of Sound Nutrition Inc., and as President of Summit Glass Corporation.
Sound Nutrition is a startup company based on a newly acquired technology (the development of which was funded by the US Army) that initially is providing proprietary performance rations to the US Army and NASA.
Summit Glass developed out of an investment in a unique security glass product designed to slow forced entry in a variety of situations.
Prior to founding DAJA Holdings, Don served as Senior Complex Financial Institutions Analyst at the FDIC and was a Director at Ackman-Ziff in New York City. Don lives in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles and has two children.
