“I believe strongly that self-growth and an overall respect and fondness for our firm and for what our reputation stands for in the community, are the two key factors that propel me, not only to accept the responsibility as a Member of the Firm, but to always do my best to earn my colleagues trust as a leader while at the same time fulfilling my own career goals,” Del Gavio said.
