Gregory F. ("Greg") Treverton is an American foreign policy and intelligence executive. Treverton was the chairperson of the U.S. National Intelligence Council from 2014-2017 and vice chair from 1993-1995. He is also a professor at the University of Southern California and a visiting senior fellow at the Swedish Defence University.
From 2007 to 2014, Treverton was a Senior Fellow, Stockholm, Sweden. [1] Between 2000 and 2014, he served at the Rand Corporation as the Director for the Center for Global Risk and Security (2009-2014), Director of Intelligence Policy Center (2004-2005), and a senior researcher (2000-2009) at the Rand Corporation. [2] From 1998 to 2000 he served at the Pacific Council on International Policy, as president and before Vice President and Director of Studies. [3] He is currently a member of the Advisory Board at the Oxford Analytica, [4]
Treverton graduated summa cum laude with an A.B. from the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University in 1969 after completing a 181-page-long senior thesis titled "Politics and Petroleum: The International Petroleum Company in Peru." [5]
He received an M.P.P. from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University in 1972 and a Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1975 after completing a doctoral dissertation titled "Managing the politics and economics of alliance: the balance of payments and American forces in Germany." [6] [7]
Treverton was one of the 51 former U.S. intelligence officials who signed the October 19, 2020, letter that said the Hunter Biden laptop story "has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation." [8] It was in fact revealed the laptop contained no evidence of Russian disinformation, and portions of its contents have been verified as authentic. [9]
In 2021, Treverton was implicated in a dispute with Oxford University Press and a former graduate student regarding his 2015 book National Intelligence and Science: Beyond the Great Divide in Analysis and Policy. Oxford University Press found that Treverton had plagiarized a substantial portion of a chapter in his book from white papers by the graduate student, who was eventually named a co-author of the chapter.
