The Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) announced recently several leadership changes within the organization.
Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Michael Mullen and Nathalie Tocci, director of the Istituto Affari Internazionali in Italy, joined the organization’s Board of Directors.
“We are delighted to welcome these new members to the NTI team,” NTI CEO and Co-Chair Ernest J. Moniz said. “Admiral Mullen brought bold and original thinking to his work as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and I’m confident he’ll do the same at NTI. Nathalie Tocci is an esteemed expert in security and defense policy and will add European perspective to NTI’s mission of building a safer world.”
Ambassador Laura S. H. Holgate, former U.S. Representative to the Vienna Office of the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency, joined NTI as vice president of material security and minimization.
“We are excited to welcome Laura back to NTI,” NTI Co-Chair and former Sen. Sam Nunn said. “Laura’s deep knowledge and impressive experience in reducing global dangers make her a leading global expert on nuclear threats and preventing terrorism. I am particularly proud of her important roles in the groundbreaking Nuclear Security Summits, which made significant progress in securing nuclear materials globally.”
NTI works to prevent catastrophic attacks with weapons of mass destruction and disruption (WMDD)—nuclear, biological, radiological, chemical, and cyber.
