The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace has announced that 20-year BBC veteran Tom Carver will join the think tank as vice president for communications and strategy. Carver will have a significant portfolio, covering communications in CEIP's Washington headquarters as well as its growing international offices in Beijing, Beirut, Brussels and Moscow.
Carnegie's president, Jessica T. Mathews, in a released statement, said, "We are thrilled that Tom will be leading our global communications team. As an award-winning journalist and leading communications strategist, he is uniquely suited for this position. With his deep knowledge of international affairs and global policy, Tom will be an invaluable asset to Carnegie’s efforts in building the first global think tank."
Carver, who served as the BBC's Washington correspondent and also covered the first Gulf War, Bosnian War and the Rwandan genocide, added, "In the face of serious international challenges—a shifting balance of power, security and proliferation threats, a fragile economic recovery, and climate change—there has rarely been a more important time for a think tank such as Carnegie with its deep knowledge of world affairs."
