Duncan Dickerson

Duncan Dickerson has served Rice University as adjunct professor in the Jones Graduate School of Business since 2020, teaching classes in renewable energy finance and climatetech.

Duncan Dickerson has worked for Lazard since 2016 and has provided advisory services to large-cap companies as they navigate the energy transition and climatetech companies as they execute their growth objectives. He is based in Dana Point, California. Since joining the firm, he has worked on over $10 billion in traditional and emerging energy transactions in M&A, activism defense, capital markets (public and private) and restructurings (in and out of court). He also provides “strategic advisory” services at Lazard specifically around evaluating strategic alternatives as companies decarbonize their business operations. Outside of Duncan’s traditional energy coverage, he was a core team member for Lazard Growth Acquisition I, a special purpose acquisition company with $575 million in trust, and is on several Lazard steering committees. 

Duncan has held other positions in finance at Tudor Pickering & Holt (now Perella Weinberg) and the CPG group of KKR in Houston and New York, respectively.

In philanthropy, Duncan was a premier member of the Houston chapter of the Rikers Debate Project, a non-profit focused on teaching competitive debate to incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people to give them a greater say in the decisions that affect their lives, and a Hermann Park Conservancy: Play Your Park committee member, successfully raising $2 million dollars for the construction of the McWilliams Dog Park.
