Daniel Poneman Biography

President and CEO, Centrus Energy Corporation, Deputy Secretary of Energy (2009-2014), Senior Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School, Distinguished Fellow at the Paulson Institute

Daniel B. Poneman is the president and chief executive officer of Centrus Energy Corp. He also serves on the company’s board of directors. Under his leadership, Poneman has been recognized for enhancing industry-government partnerships, particularly in preparing and responding to security threats in the electric sector, including during Superstorm Sandy.

From 2009 to 2014, Poneman was the Deputy Secretary of Energy, also serving as the chief operating officer of the U.S. Department of Energy. His responsibilities encompassed a broad spectrum of U.S. energy policies and programs—hydricarbons, renewables, nuclear, and efficiency—including cybersecurity, project management, national security, and international cooperation. He was pivotal in the Department's resilience and emergency response efforts, addressing crises from Fukushima to Hurricane Sandy. Between April 23, 2013, and May 21, 2013, Poneman served as Acting Secretary of Energy.

Prior to his tenure at the Department of Energy, Poneman spent eight years as a principal at the Scowcroft Group, providing strategic advice to corporations across various sectors. He also practiced law for eight years, first as an associate at Covington & Burling and then as a partner at Hogan & Hartson, advising clients on regulatory and policy matters.

Earlier in his career, Poneman held significant roles in government, including as a White House Fellow and director of Defense Policy and Arms Control at the National Security Council. From 1993 through 1996, he was special assistant to the President and senior director for nonproliferation and export controls at the National Security Council, where his work focused on policies involving peaceful nuclear cooperation, missile technology, space-launch activities, and conventional arms transfer policy.

Poneman has written extensively on national security issues. He is the author of "Nuclear Power in the Developing World" and "Argentina: Democracy on Trial." His book "Going Critical: The First North Korean Nuclear Crisis," coauthored with Joel Wit and Robert Gallucci, was awarded the 2005 Douglas Dillon Award for Distinguished Writing on American Diplomacy. His most recent publication, "Double Jeopardy: Combating Nuclear Terror and Climate Change," was released by the MIT Press in May 2019 and published by the Belfer Center Studies in International Security. Additionally, Poneman is a Senior Fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School, a Distinguished Fellow at the Paulson Institute, and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Poneman earned Bachelor of Arts and Juris Doctor degrees with honors from Harvard University and a Master of Letters in Politics from Oxford University.

Daniel Poneman Speaking Topics

  • Winning the Future: A New American Policy to Fight Nuclear Terrorism and Climate Change

    Only two threats threaten the survival of our species: nuclear destruction and climate change. We are not doing enough to stop either of these existential threats, but we know how to do much more to stop both. What is needed is a coherent approach integrating both challenges in a sustainable bipartisan consensus. The greatest generation of Americans faced commensurate challenges in the Cold War and prevailed, while presiding over the greatest economic surge in American history. Our generation can and must do the same.

  • Energy Security in a Changing World

    Every U.S. President from Richard Nixon to Barack Obama deplored America’s excessive dependence on foreign oil and called for urgent action to promote energy independence. After two generations, American ingenuity and determination have now produced a prodigious outpouring of oil and natural gas that have transformed the United States into the number one hydrocarbon producer in the world. Learn what this means for the security—and prosperity—for the U.S. and its friends and allies around the world, and for our rivals and adversaries.

  • Flirting with Disaster: Confronting Cyberthugs, Superstorms and Other Threats to Our Critical Infrastructures

    From Hurricane Sandy to cyberattacks on our financial institutions, to physical assaults against electrical power substations across America, we are facing an unprecedented surge of threats to our critical infrastructures that threaten our safety, security and prosperity. Untold millions of secrets and billions of dollars have been stolen, and much greater damage could be inflicted. Learn what Americans must do to protect their life and property in the face of spiraling threats of increasing scale and sophistication.
