HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 13, 2026--

Opportune LLP, a leading Houston, TX-based global business advisory firm, has acquired the Consulting & Advocacy Practice of Pickering Energy Partners LP (“PEP”). Practice leader Dan Romito and his team will join Opportune to advise clients and lead the firm’s growing sustainability and energy expansion practices.

PEP Consulting & Advocacy built a reputation for assisting private companies, public issuers, and asset managers in addressing a critical challenge in today’s markets: ensuring the energy narrative reflects economic reality and balancing practical, value-accreting sustainability strategies with capital market expectations. At Opportune, the team will extend that same thoughtful, investor-focused approach.

Dan Pickering, Founder and CIO of Pickering Energy Partners commented, “It has been a truly impressive run for the PEP Consulting & Advocacy practice. We helped clients when they needed it most, we delivered quality results, and we delivered value. I am proud of what has been accomplished. I expect Dan Romito and his team will continue the momentum built here at PEP and we look forward to collaborating with Opportune on an ongoing basis.”

“The market is entering an unprecedented inflection point where energy, power, carbon management, and technology are increasingly converging. Boards and investors increasingly want a sharper, more quantitative depiction of risk, ROI, timing, and value creation. At Opportune, our team will continue to deliver value to our clients,” added Dan Romito, Managing Director, Consulting & Advocacy at Pickering Energy Partners.

Solomon Partners acted as financial advisor to PEP.
