Centrus Energy CEO Daniel Poneman to depart, Amir Vexler to succeed

Centrus Energy announced that Amir Vexler will succeed Daniel Poneman as CEO on January 1, 2024. Poneman joined Centrus on March 5, 2015. In October, Centrus inaugurated the first new U.S.-owned uranium enrichment plant to begin production in nearly 70 years and made its first delivery to the U.S. Department of Energy earlier this month. These achievements are reflected in the growth of the company’s total market capitalization 20-fold since 2015 to more than $800M and returns to shareholders almost five times higher than the S&P 500.
