Guy F. Caruso, who led the US Energy Information Administration from February 2002 until recently, has returned to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, where he was executive director of the Strategic Energy Initiative Project in the late 1990s.

He will be a senior advisor in the CSIS Energy and National Security Program. "Guy rejoins us almost 10 years to the day from his initial affiliation with the center, when he managed the CSIS Strategic Energy Initiative. With energy and security issues front and center, we will certainly put his expertise to good use and are elated to have him back in the fold," said Frank A. Verrastro, the program's director.

Caruso first joined DOE as a senior energy economist in the Office of International Affairs and soon became director of the Office of Market Analysis. His other leadership roles during his tenure at DOE included Oil and Natural Gas Policy Office director within the Office of Domestic and International Energy Policy, and Office of Energy Emergency Policy Evaluation director. Caruso also worked at the Central Intelligence Agency as an international energy economist in the Office of Economic Research before moving to DOE.

Before joining EIA, he was also the director of the National Energy Strategy (NES) project for the United States Energy Association, where he spearheaded the publication "Toward a National Energy Strategy," which was released in February 2001, and a follow-up study, "National Energy Strategy Post 9/11," which was released in July 2002.

Caruso has also worked at the Paris-based International Energy Agency (IEA), first as head of the Oil Industry Division where he was responsible for analyzing world oil supply/demand and developments, and later as director of the Office of Non-member Countries where he directed studies of energy-related developments.

He holds a bachelor's of science degree in business administration and a master's of science degree in economics from the University of Connecticut, and a master's of public administration degree from Harvard University.
