They help com­pa­nies and investors in under­stand­ing mar­ket­place devel­op­ments, find­ing new busi­ness oppor­tu­ni­ties and part­ner­ships, and design­ing advo­cacy and core busi­ness strate­gies to max­i­mize com­pet­i­tive advan­tage.

Munter and Hunt teamed up on Zero Emis­sion Road Rally in May of 2009 and sup­port each other’s work on a vari­ety of sus­tain­able trans­port and energy initiatives.

Most recently, Dan has been pro­vid­ing lead­er­ship for an effort to link the strate­gic impor­tance of energy inde­pen­dence to the tac­ti­cal rel­e­vance of reduc­ing the use and trans­porta­tion of fos­sil fuels in order lower the risk to sol­diers, sailors, air­men and Marines, work that was fea­tured in Thomas Friedman’s 2008 book Hot, Flat and Crowded.
