Revolving Door
Kanter moved in the lucrative revolving door from public to private sector, where it often serves as a delayed reward for favors given while in office. He was a Principal and founding member of The Scowcroft Group, where he took his connections from public service to sell strategic advice and direct assistance to companies in the aerospace, financial services, metals, transportation, chemical, and other industries. He also conducted risk assessments of market opportunities in East Asia and Russia.
