Jason Bordoff thinks the U.S. has a truly historic opportunity in its energy sector right now. As the Founding Director of the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University, Bordoff's research and policy interests lie at the intersection of economics, energy, environment, and national security. Prior to this, he served until January 2013 as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Energy and Climate Change on the Staff of the National Security Council.

Bordoff is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the National Petroleum Council, a consultant to the National Intelligence Council, and serves on the boards of Winrock International, the New York Energy Forum and the Association of Marshall Scholars.
