Howard William Lutnick (born July 14, 1961) is an American businessman, philanthropist, and government official who has served as the 41st United States secretary of commerce since February 2025.
In 1983, Lutnick was hired at Cantor Fitzgerald under the mentorship of the firm's founder, B. Gerald Cantor. In 1990, Lutnick became president and chief executive of Cantor Fitzgerald. After a medical incident involving Cantor in 1995, he entered into a legal dispute with Cantor's wife, Iris, over Cantor's succession plans. Lutnick was appointed chairman of Cantor Fitzgerald after Cantor's death in 1996. He invested significantly in technology, establishing an electronic trading platform known as eSpeed. In the September 11 attacks, Cantor Fitzgerald lost 658 employees, including Howard's brother, Gary.
Lutnick was a fundraiser for Donald Trump's 2020 and 2024 presidential campaigns, as well as a vocal proponent of Trump's proposal to implement broad tariffs. In August 2024, he was named as the co-chair of Donald Trump's presidential transition. President-elect Trump named Lutnick as his nominee for secretary of commerce in November. A Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation committee hearing for Lutnick was held in January 2025, and he was confirmed by the Senate in February. That year, Time listed Lutnick as one of the world's 100 most influential people.

After graduating, Lutnick worked at Noonan, Astley & Pierce as a broker for the United States dollar–Japanese yen exchange, where he met B. Gerald Cantor.{{Sfn|"Q&A with CEO Howard Lutnick". Bloomberg News}} In 1983, Cantor took Lutnick as his protégé and hired him at his eponymous firm, Cantor Fitzgerald, encouraged by Rod Fisher, a partner at the firm and Cantor's nephew.{{Sfn|"For Cantor's Lutnick, It's Eat or Be Eaten". Bloomberg News}} Within a year and a half, Lutnick had steadily ascended within the firm, becoming the chief executive of a division of Cantor Fitzgerald that managed the personal investments of Cantor and his associates. He brought additional clients, increasing its profitability to become one of Cantor Fitzgerald's most lucrative divisions.{{Sfn|Henriques|1996a}} By December 1990, Lutnick was appointed Cantor's successor in the event of his death.{{Sfn|"For Cantor's Lutnick, It's Eat or Be Eaten". Bloomberg News}} In 1991,{{Sfn|"eSpeed's Trading Secrets". Bloomberg News}} after a failed attempt by Cantor Fitzgerald's president to oust him, Lutnick became the firm's chief executive{{Sfn|Peterson|1998}} and president.{{Sfn|Henriques|1996a}} The following year, Cantor restructured Cantor Fitzgerald to a partnership and implemented a succession plan, abandoning his previous effort to give the company to a charitable foundation.{{Sfn|Henriques|1996a}}
In 1990, Cantor began undergoing kidney dialysis, and in December 1995, he was hospitalized in New York. Lutnick moved to implement a succession plan at Cantor Fitzgerald, allowing him to become a managing general partner at the firm. The lack of involvement of Cantor's family infuriated its members, including his wife, Iris Cantor, whose attorneys had argued with Lutnick's attorneys. In March 1996, Lutnick and his division, CF Group Management, filed a lawsuit in Delaware to enforce the plan, arguing that Cantor did not possess "sufficient mental capacity" to understand the legal documents he was signing. The New York Times noted that Lutnick had already lost the necessary support of the Cantors.{{Sfn|Henriques|1996a}} The partners settled in May, allowing Lutnick to retain management control while the Cantors hold a limited partnership stake.{{Sfn|Henriques|1996b}} In July, Cantor died.{{Sfn|Pace|1996}} As chairman{{Sfn|Snyder|2014}} of Cantor Fitzgerald, Lutnick sought to broker deals with larger investment companies such as Deutsche Bank and Merrill Lynch.{{Sfn|Martin|1997}}
Lutnick heralded technology at Cantor Fitzgerald. In September 1998, the firm began electronic trading for futures contracts on Treasury bonds and notes,{{Sfn|Osterland|1998}} developing eSpeed, an electronic trading platform, with an investment of {{USD|250}} million. eSpeed was released in March 1999.{{Sfn|"eSpeed's Trading Secrets". Bloomberg News}} In addition, Lutnick diversified Cantor's investments, seeking to establish a brokering business in Europe—spending at least {{USD|43}} million since 1994—and a futures exchange known as Cantor Exchange, though it traded significantly fewer contracts than its competitors, including the Chicago Board of Trade.{{Sfn|"For Cantor's Lutnick, It's Eat or Be Eaten". Bloomberg News}} Businessman Michael Spencer noted that eSpeed had become a dominant market in Treasury securities trading, but had not achieved similar successes in other markets. By September 2001, eSpeed had created four dozen marketplaces, including TradeSpark, an exchange for natural gas and electricity.{{Sfn|"Q&A with CEO Howard Lutnick". Bloomberg News}} After the Enron scandal, TradeSpark received a surge in usage.{{Sfn|Henriques|2002a}}
On September 11, 2001, al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked American Airlines Flight 11, crashing the plane into 1 World Trade Center, which contained Cantor Fitzgerald's corporate headquarters. Minutes later, a second hijacked plane United Airlines Flight 175 crashed into 2 World Trade Center. The plane crashes marked the beginning of the September 11 attacks. 960 employees worked for Cantor Fitzgerald in New York City;{{Sfn|Craig|2011}} All 658 employees who were in the office on the day of the attacks died.{{Sfn|"Howard Lutnick Brings a Shrunken Cantor Fitzgerald Back to Life".

His brother, Gary, did not survive.{{Sfn|Henriques|Lee|2001}} Cantor Fitzgerald's operations in London and New Jersey allowed eSpeed to continue trading.{{Sfn|Fuerbringer|Berenson|2001}} Lutnick's interviews with Connie Chung on ABC News were widely publicized{{Sfn|Rutenberg|Carter|2002}} and he became nationally recognized,{{Sfn|Stanley|2011}} though he garnered controversy among the families of the victims for not paying deceased employees, whose paychecks had served as a safety net.{{Sfn|Henriques|2001a}} The American Red Cross offered as much as {{USD|30000}} to the families of the victims after Lutnick appealed to the organization's president and chief executive, Bernadine Healy.{{Sfn|Barstow|2001}} Lutnick attended funerals for each employee killed for a month.{{Sfn|"Cantor rebuilds after 9/11 losses".

A year after the attacks, Lutnick began negotiations to relocate Cantor Fitzgerald to Union Square, Manhattan, at 14th Street between Broadway and University Place, from the firm's temporary headquarters at 135 East 57th Street.{{Sfn|Bagli|2002}}{{Sfn|Cuozzo|2002}} He requested {{USD|50}} million for the initiative from the United States Congress and formed a working relationship with Florida representative Bill Young, the chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, but the final legislation signed by president George W.

In February 2025, after being confirmed by the Senate as the United States secretary of commerce, Lutnick named his sons, Brandon and Kyle, who were in their 20s, as chairman and executive vice chairman, respectively.

Drugs, alcohol and suicide. And then fentanyl comes in and finishes the job."{{Sfn|Woods|2025}} Lutnick encouraged Fox News viewers to purchase stock in Tesla, stating that Tesla stock "will never be this cheap again", which allegedly violated federal ethics rules due to his federal government position.{{Sfn|McDaniel|Rodriguez|2025}} In a podcast interview that month, he stated that only a "fraudster" would be concerned and complain about a missed Social Security check, so "the easiest way to find the fraudster is to stop payments and listen" for complaints.{{Sfn|Folley|2025}}
At the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Lutnick instituted a policy that all contracts over $100,000 had to be personally approved by him.{{Sfn|Borunda|2025}} The policy caused a bottleneck and by April, contracts for maintenance and janitorial service at facilities, emergency alert translations, and web hosting had lapsed.{{Sfn|Song|2025}} Later that month, Lutnick publicly promoted "great jobs of the future" for the United States, "where you work in these [factory] plants for the rest of your life, and your kids work here, and your grandkids work here", as he gave the example of factory robot technician jobs.{{sfn|Burleigh|2025}}
