About Ryan Duncan

With over a decade of experience in national security and foreign policy, I am the Head of Government Relations at Last Energy, a leading developer of micro modular nuclear power plants. In this role, I leverage my years in government to develop and implement strategies to engage with federal, state, and local governments, as well as international stakeholders, on issues related to energy security, sustainability, and innovation. I also teach as an Adjunct Professor at The George Washington University\'s Elliott School of International Affairs, where I share my insights and expertise with the next generation of leaders. Previously, I served as the Director of Operations for the White House Situation Room, where I coordinated and facilitated the flow of information and communication among the President, the National Security Council, and other agencies. I am passionate about advancing the global energy transition and enhancing the national security interests of the United States and its allies.
