Steve Milloy is the executive director of the Free Enterprise Project, which pushes corporations to respect their fiduciary obligations and to stay out of political and social engineering. 

Steve has been fighting against the use of agenda-driven bad (junk) science for more than 35 years. He is a biostatistician and lawyer by training, and has been an environment and public health consultant, securities lawyer, registered securities principal, investment fund founder and manager, coal company executive and nonprofit executive, as well as a print/web columnist on science and business issues. He sits on the boards of several not-for-profit organizations focused on energy, environmental and investment issues.

In 2005, Steve launched the first publicly-traded conservative activist mutual fund, called the Free Enterprise Action Fund, which pioneered the first pro-free enterprise and anti-ESG shareholder advocacy. As one of the earliest advocates of shareholder engagement on behalf of center-right investors and causes, he helped lay the groundwork and was the driving inspiration for what would later become the National Center’s Free Enterprise Project, launched in 2007. Steve Forbes noted at the time that Milloy hoped that such initiatives “could become counterweights to these anti-business activists” by advancing pro-entrepreneurial, pro-capitalist measures grounded in the principle that “good business is good social policy.”

Steve Milloy has authored six books and 1,000+ articles in major newspapers and websites including the Wall Street Journal, FoxNews.com, USA Today, New York Post, Washington Times, and many other print and web outlets. He served on the transition team for the Trump EPA during 2016-2017, developing the plans for overhauling how EPA does science. Nature magazine has called Steve “‘[p]erhaps the most influential climate science contrarian.”
