Pallas Advisors
Pallas Advisors is a national security advising firm. The company was founded in 2018 by Sally Donnelly and Anthony “Tony” DeMartino. Both Donnelly and DeMartino were aides to former Secretary of Defense James Mattis. Several members of Pallas’ team had worked in senior positions at the Department of Defense before joining Pallas Advisors. The company’s website advertises the employees “decades of experience at senior levels of the public and private sector.” An Attorney for Pallas co-founder Sally Donnelly clarified that the firm would not be lobbying due to ethics restrictions on former political appointees. There is little information publicly available about Pallas Advisors.
