Biography

Harlan Ullman
Harlan Ullman is a member of the Strategic Advisors Group at the Atlantic Council. He is also a senior associate with CSIS. His expertise spans national security, foreign policy, terror, defense, economics, and finance as well as Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.
A columnist for the Washington Times, he is a frequent commentator in U.S. and international media including Fox, BBC, and Al Jazeera TV. His latest book, America’s Promise Restored: Preventing Culture, Crusade, and Partisanship from Wrecking Our Nation (Carroll & Graf, 2006), is a provocative analysis of why our government is broken and what needs to be done to make it work again. An honors graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Ullman completed more than 150 combat missions and patrols in Vietnam in Swift Boats and later commanded a destroyer in the Persian Gulf. With a Ph.D. in international affairs, finance, and economics, he has been an academic and businessman as well as an adviser to the most senior levels of government and the private sector. He is also principal author of the doctrine of “shock and awe,” which was substantially different from what was advertised in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
After leaving naval service, Ullman joined CSIS as senior fellow and director of the Political-Military and Strategy Programs and began consulting with a number of Fortune 100 companies. Elected to the board of the Wall Street Fund, he later formed his own company, the Killowen Group, a consulting firm with broad financial interests. He has served on the boards of several related investment and venture capital companies with holdings in Asia and as senior partner and vice chairman of two companies in the high-technology area.
Ullman is currently chairman of the advisory board of two companies engaged in Smart Zone Management and homeland security; serves at the Center for Naval Analyses, where he chairs the Senior Seminar and is a senior fellow; serves at the National Defense University as a distinguished visiting fellow; and is on the Senior Advisory Board of the U.S. European Command and the NATO Defense College.
