Kent Moors: The Soft Side
In this talk Kent Moors takes up the challenge to transform Pittsburgh into the first national hub for the ‘soft side’ of energy development. The ‘hard side’ of development involves the production, processing and distribution of energy products.

ABOUT Kent Moors
“Kent Moors is an internationally recognised expert in global risk management, oil/natural gas policy and finance, cross-border capital flows, emerging market economic and fiscal development, political, financial and market risk assessment.
He is the executive managing partner of Risk Management Associates International LLP (RMAI), a full-service, global-management-consulting and executive training firm.
The ‘soft side’ considers structuring the policy, legislative, regulatory, risk assessment, research, logistics, economic development models, business incubations, labor transitions, management approaches, along with the next generation of legal, financial, and advisory services.
In short, if the ‘hard side’ generates the energy, the ‘soft side’ addresses what that means to the people and communities served by that energy. He believes that the ongoing discussion of the future of America’s energy balance often overlooks a range of major ingredients.
However, without each of those ingredients, Kent Moors believes they have no chance of pulling off such a demanding transition. For years, he has been calling those overlooked ingredients the ‘soft side’ of energy.”
