DNI Clapper Announces New National Intelligence Council Chairman
I am pleased to announce that I have selected Dr. Gregory Treverton to serve as the next chairman of the National Intelligence Council.
Greg brings a unique combination of world class analytic skills, a vast network of global thought leaders and practical experience working in government at the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, the National Security Council and the NIC as the former vice-chairman.
He currently serves as director, Center for Global Risk and Security at RAND Corporation.
Greg’s rare combination of broad substantive expertise, passion for the intelligence profession and deep understanding of the NIC’s unique role and mission makes him the right person for this position at exactly the right time.
I would also like to thank Chris Kojm for his distinguished service to the IC and the nation during his tenure at the helm of the NIC these past five years. Chris understands the importance of quality intelligence to the policy making process, and the need for intelligence to be timely, relevant and objective.
The NIC and the nation are indeed fortunate to have such exceptional leaders as Greg and Chris who are willing to serve at this critical period in America’s history.
James R. Clapper, Director of National Intelligence
