Secretaries General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization

NATO is chaired by a secretary general.

Alongside the supreme commander (always of the U.S. Armed Forces) and the chair of the military committee (also a military position, but not necessary of the U.S.), they lead the alliance. Naturally, the secretary general is the highest civil servant and diplomat of the alliance.
