Centrus Energy Welcomes Todd Tinelli as CFO
Centrus Energy Corp. has recently made headlines with the announcement of Todd Tinelli stepping into the role of Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Treasurer, effective August 11, 2025. This leadership change follows the resignation of Kevin Harrill, who has served as CFO for four years, playing a significant role in guiding the company's financial strategy and operations during a transformative period.
In a statement, Centrus President and CEO Amir Vexler expressed his enthusiasm about Tinelli's appointment, emphasizing how pivotal it is for Capitalus to maintain a leadership team that is second to none. "Todd’s proven track record in finance and operations, coupled with his strategic mindset, makes him a perfect fit as we aim to enhance our growth trajectories and shareholder value," he remarked.
A Legacy of Financial Leadership
Kevin Harrill leaves a legacy marked by several critical contributions. Under his financial stewardship, Centrus has positioned itself to navigate significant industry changes and capitalize on new opportunities. His remarkable management during challenging times, including the global pandemic, has been instrumental in establishing a solid foundation for the company's financial future.
Throughout his tenure, Harrill efficiently managed the company's finances during transformative periods, accelerating the manufacturing deployments that are crucial for securing government contracts. He notably contributed to balancing the company’s financial sheet, optimizing the cost structure, and enhancing cash reserves. Harrill will remain with the firm until August 29 to ensure a smooth transition for his successor.
Todd Tinelli’s Experience: A Strategic Asset
Bringing over two decades of experience in the energy sector, Todd Tinelli’s credentials are impressive. Prior to joining Centrus, he served as CFO for Sprague Resources LP, a large player in natural gas marketing in the Northeast. His extensive background includes progressive roles across finance and operations, making him well-equipped to lead Centrus into its next chapter. Tinelli will oversee financial operations and direct capital allocation activities that align with the company's ambitious growth ambitions.
Tinelli expressed his eagerness to join Centrus, noting, "This company has made incredible progress and has a significant chance to lead the way in enriching uranium on a large scale. It's an honor to be part of such a vital mission that supports both the nuclear market and national interests."
His hands-on experience and financial prowess are believed to be crucial in navigating the competitive landscape of the uranium enrichment sector and pushing forward the company's goal to restore America’s uranium enrichment capabilities.
Future Opportunities at Centrus
Centrus Energy’s future prospects are high, particularly with its focus on enhancing its uranium enrichment capacity in Ohio. As the industry continues to evolve, the company's strategic positioning under Tinelli's leadership could drive significant advancements, responding rapidly to market demands and regulatory landscapes.
In closing, while Kevin Harrill’s departure marks the end of an era, Todd Tinelli's arrival represents a fresh start for Centrus Energy. With a strong commitment to innovation and a proven executive at the helm, the company is primed to seize the opportunities that lie ahead in the growing nuclear energy sector, aiming not only for financial growth but for a vital role in the sustainable energy future.
