Lane Wesley Burt, P.E. is the founder and managing principal of Ember Strategies. With a mechanical engineering background, political sensitivities developed in Washington, D.C., and extensive experience across the built environment and energy sectors, Lane aids clients through strategy development to implementation.

Drawing on his unique expertise in both technical engineering and strategic planning, Lane works with clients to clarify objectives, cut through industry noise, and identify solutions that are both technically innovative and elegant. His approach combines technical precision with strategic insight to deliver measurable results where others propose complicated, overengineered, and impractical approaches.

A 2014 Fulbright Professional Scholar in Climate Change and Clean Energy and graduate of Oxford's Scenarios Programme, Lane brings sophisticated strategic thinking to complex technical challenges. His distinctive approach often employs creative communication methods (including the occasional cartoon) to make complex concepts accessible and actionable for diverse stakeholders.
