I am pleased to announce the appointment of Carol A. Haave as Assistant Secretary for International Affairs at the Department of Homeland Security. Carol is a skilled international negotiator with more than 25 years of combined experience in national security and international affairs.  

Carol is returning to public service after nearly three years in the private sector. She served the Department of Defense as Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Counterintelligence and Security and as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Security and Information Operations. Among her achievements was the development of the Iraqi National ID Card program, which required sensitive negotiations with the Iraqi government and other Middle Eastern countries. 

Carol spent more than 10 years advising the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency on transitioning advanced technology into the military and commercial markets, and was a team leader for the House Appropriations Committee Surveys and Investigations Staff. Carol has also participated on numerous Defense Science Boards, and was a staff member on the National Defense Panel. She received her undergraduate degree from Stetson University, and holds a Master of Arts degree from Pepperdine University. Carol began her career in the United States Army, where she received an in-service direct commission and attended airborne school.

I am grateful for Carol’s service and commitment to the safety and security of our homeland, and I look forward to her contributions in strengthening our international relationships.
