David Hunt

CEO & Founder

I am deeply committed to accelerating the clean energy and clean mobility transitions. I believe entrepreneurs are the driving force behind these critical shifts, and my mission is to empower them by ensuring they have access to the right talent, funding, and strategic culture to thrive. By bridging these elements, I aim to help shape the future of the global cleantech landscape.

With over 17 years of experience in the cleantech sector and more than 34 years in business, I am the founder and CEO of Hyperion Executive Search, a global executive search firm specializing in placing top-tier leadership—C-suite, Board, and Heads of Department roles—within clean energy and e-mobility companies. My passion lies in leveraging my expertise and network to help cleantech entrepreneurs scale their businesses, ensuring the sector’s sustained and rapid growth.

In addition to leading Hyperion Executive Search, I host the Leaders in Cleantech podcast, where I engage with CEOs, founders, and thought leaders on the front lines of cleantech innovation. Through these conversations, I aim to spotlight the technologies and journeys shaping our future.

Beyond my role as CEO, I actively mentor, advise, and serve as a non-executive director for several cleantech organizations and initiatives, including Rockstart Energy, Greentech Alliance, and Foresight Cleantech Accelerator Centre. I hold an Executive Leadership Certificate from Cornell University, further grounding my commitment to supporting the leaders transforming our world.

Whilst I love the day job, my primary love is for my family, being blessed with a beautiful wife, three amazing children, and two crazy cats. I read voraciously, and otherwise spend my spare time at the gym, running or walking out in
