The CEO of Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit DT Institute has resigned amid a United States Department of Justice investigation into the organization’s financial practices and those of its for-profit affiliate, DT Global.
DT Institute announced on its website Wednesday that Pia Wanek, who joined the organization in June 2023, has stepped down and been replaced by two co-CEOs.
Wanek told Devex that there was no connection between her departure and the DOJ investigation.
