The American Chamber of Commerce in Korea (AMCHAM) said on Dec. 19 that it appointed Henry Haggard as its new U.S. Senior Advisor. Once he officially assumes his role on Jan. 2 next year, he will provide strategic advice and guidance on key issues affecting the U.S.-Korea business community.
“We are thrilled to welcome Henry Haggard to our team,” said AMCHAM Chairman James Kim. “With the incoming Trump Administration, Henry is perfectly suited to advance AMCHAM’s mission in the United States and Korea.”
Henry Haggard held numerous senior positions in both the public and private sectors. He served at the State Department for 25 years and was the director of the National Security Council under both the Trump and Biden administrations. He also held positions as the Political Minister Counselor at the U.S. Embassy in Seoul and directed energy diplomacy for Asia and the Middle East.
Since retiring from the State Department as a member of the Senior Foreign Service, Haggard has focused on supporting U.S.-Korea relations through his affiliation with leading think tanks such as WestExec Advisors, Rice University’s Baker Institute, and the Centre for Security, Diplomacy and Strategy (CSDS) of the Brussels School of Governance. He speaks fluent Korean.
