Matthew Klimow will now lead the office, the State Department confirmed Thursday, temporarily leaving his position as U.S. Ambassador to Turkmenistan to take on the position.
The State Department has named a new acting inspector general — the third in the less than four months to take on the position following the May ousting of its long-serving watchdog, Steve Linick.
Prior to his ambassadorship, Klimow was a senior adviser in the Office of the Under Secretary of Management Brian Bulatao who has been a central figure in the Congressional investigation. Like Bulatao, Klimow is a West Point graduate and a recipient of the Silver Star, the nation’s third-highest award for valor in combat. He has held several positions at the State Department, at the White House, in the military, and at NATO.
