ABOUT US
A rigorous approach for times when the stakes are too high for guesswork.
Shearwater Strategies was founded to help organizations navigate environments where commercial success, policy outcomes, and public response are inseparable.
Organizations operating in energy, infrastructure, and policy-driven markets are making decisions in complex environments shaped by regulators, communities, and investors — all with different priorities, concerns, and expectations. Success depends not only on the strength of an initiative, but on how it is understood, discussed, and received by the audiences surrounding it.
The firm is structured as a focused, high-engagement advisory practice. Every project is led directly by Henry Litman and designed around the specific decisions, risks, and environments each client is navigating.
Henry Litman
FOUNDER & PRESIDENT
Henry Litman has worked at the intersection of market research, policy strategy, and clean energy investment across the private and public sectors.
Prior to founding Shearwater, he served as Senior Vice President at Quadrant Strategies, where he worked with leading technology companies including Meta, Slack, and Uber on market strategy, product development, and public policy challenges. He later joined the Coalition for Green Capital, where he helped build the national green bank movement and advance the public-private investment infrastructure that now deploys over $5 billion in clean energy capital.
That experience — rigorous research methods on one side, complex policy and market environments on the other — is the foundation Shearwater is built on.
Henry holds a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Pennsylvania and an M.B.A. from the Yale School of Management.
“Organizations don’t need to speculate. They can ask, listen, and build strategy around what they learn.”
