Mr. Lipman will succeed David Durham who announced his
retirement in June 2025. This marks a return to Westinghouse for
Mr. Lipman, who spent more than three decades of his career with
the company – starting as a field engineer and progressing to
executive roles across multiple regions and businesses, including
previously leading the company’s new nuclear power plant
development and projects.
“Dan has a notable track record of strong leadership, focus on
operations and delivery, and deep understanding of our technology
and customers that will uniquely position Westinghouse as we
continue to shape tomorrow’s energy future,” said Patrick Fragman,
Westinghouse President and Chief Executive Officer. “He is
immensely respected within the industry and has deep experience in
our global markets and with our customers, which will allow for a
seamless transition of leadership.”
Prior to rejoining Westinghouse, Mr. Lipman also served in
leadership roles at the Nuclear Energy Institute, which included
oversight of nuclear exports, international trade, fuel cycle
policy and programs, and policy analysis. He has also been an
advisor to the U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. Trade and
Development Agency on small reactor development and supports the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in emerging nuclear
countries’ industrial development.
Mr. Durham will remain in a senior advisory position with the
company over the next several months and work closely with Mr.
Lipman and members of Westinghouse’s Executive Leadership team.
“We thank David Durham for his outstanding service to
Westinghouse including his influential leadership in bringing the
first AP1000 reactors online in the U.S. and China. David led new
programs in Ukraine, Poland and Bulgaria, and ushered in an era of
new advanced nuclear reactor technology with the AP300 and eVinci
microreactor,” said Mr. Fragman. “David has led a remarkable career
in the global nuclear energy industry, and we are grateful for his
expertise and commitment.”
