Mitch Daniels

Mitchell Elias Daniels Jr. is an American former academic administrator, businessman, author, and retired politician. He served as the 49th governor of Indiana from January 2005 to January 2013 and has held leadership roles at Purdue University, including its president from January 2013 until December 2022 and interim president following the departure of Mung Chiang. Daniels began his career working closely with senator Richard Lugar, serving as his chief of staff and later as executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. He also served as a political advisor and liaison to President Ronald Reagan. Following this, Daniels became president of the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank. He later held executive positions at Eli Lilly and Company, including president of North American Pharmaceutical Operations and senior vice president of corporate strategy and policy. In 2001, he was appointed by President George W. Bush as the director of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, serving until 2003. After his time in the federal government, Daniels ran for governor of Indiana in 2004, winning the election and securing a second term in 2008. His tenure as governor was marked by government workforce reductions, property tax reforms, balanced budgets through austerity, and the passing of legislation such as Indiana's 'right-to-work' law. Although speculation arose about presidential bids in 2012 and 2016, Daniels chose not to run for national office. His leadership at Purdue University spanned nearly a decade, concluding with his retirement in January 2023.
