Flournoy leaving CNAS to start strategic advisory firm

摘要

Michele Flournoy, the chief executive of the Center for a New American Security who was once thought to be a leading candidate for defense secretary, will be leaving CNAS at the end of the year to start her own strategic advisory firm, according to an announcement from the think tank. Flournoy will, however, remain on the CNAS board of directors, which has established a search committee to find the next CEO. Richard Fontaine will continue to serve as CNAS president.
