Opportune, a Houston, TX-based global business advisory firm, has acquired the Consulting & Advocacy Practice of Pickering Energy Partners LP. As part of the transaction, practice leader Dan Romito and his team will join Opportune to advise clients and lead the firm’s expanding sustainability and energy growth initiatives.
The Consulting & Advocacy Practice at Pickering Energy Partners built its reputation by advising private companies, public issuers, and asset managers on one of the most pressing challenges in today’s markets: ensuring that the energy narrative reflects economic realities while balancing practical, value-accretive sustainability strategies with capital market expectations. Within Opportune, the team will continue applying its investor-focused, data-driven advisory approach as energy, capital markets, and sustainability strategies increasingly intersect.
Dan Pickering, Founder and CIO of Pickering Energy Partners, said the practice achieved meaningful results for clients during a critical period of market transition and expressed confidence in the team’s continued momentum under Opportune’s platform.
Romito noted that the broader market is at an inflection point, with energy, power, carbon management, and technology converging. He said boards and investors are demanding more rigorous and quantitative assessments of risk, return on investment, timing, and long-term value creation, adding that the team will continue delivering measurable results for clients within Opportune.
Solomon Partners acted as financial advisor to Pickering Energy Partners in the transaction.
