Dan Riordan, Assistant Administrator for Permitting and Taxation, is retiring! His last day with TTB is Friday, January 28.

Since April 2017, Dan has served as the Assistant Administrator for Permitting and Taxation, overseeing the National Revenue Center, which is responsible for permitting new alcohol and tobacco businesses and collecting billions in federal excise taxes from these industries.

Dan has brought an innovative spirit toward solving some of the bureau's most complicated challenges. Under his leadership, we have transformed customer service in permitting, deploying a revamped Permits Online system as well as other strategies that reduced permit approval times by 65 percent (from 96 to 34 days). Transformations in tax are also well underway.

Dan's strategic vision and charismatic leadership will be missed. We wish him a happy and healthy retirement!  

Anthony Gledhill has been selected as the incoming Assistant Administrator for Permitting and Taxation. Anthony has served as TTB Chief Counsel since July 2013.

Prior to serving as Chief Counsel, Anthony served as the Assistant Chief Counsel, Field Operations from 2008 to 2013. He joined TTB's Office of Chief Counsel as Senior Counsel in September 2003. Anthony started his federal career in 1989 as a staff attorney with the United States Department of Treasury, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), Office of Assistant Chief Counsel, in Philadelphia. 

In each of his roles, Anthony has been a trusted counselor and bureau advocate.
