Baker, who announced the appointment in a LinkedIn post on Tuesday, most recently served as acting counterterrorism coordinator at the Department of Homeland Security.
He spent nearly two decades holding various roles at the agency, including serving as deputy counterterrorism coordinator, responsible for developing comprehensive strategies and collaborative approaches to combat terrorism in the United States and allied countries; deputy assistant director and deputy chief of intelligence, during which he set the mission, vision and values for the agency’s intelligence programs; and planning lead for DHS Transnational Organized Crime Mission Center.
Baker previously served in the U.S. Army as a special agent for counterintelligence. During his five-year service, he operated with U.S. Special Forces conducting combat operations in southeastern Afghanistan in early 2002 and performed human intelligence and counterintelligence operations, force protection, liaison, debriefings, interrogations and kinetic operations. He also led a team of counterintelligence special agents and executed threat and vulnerability assessments, tracked foreign intelligence agents, and conducted subversion and espionage investigations and force protection operations against known terrorist threats.
