Richard Fadden, the current deputy minister of citizenship and immigration, will take over the top spot at Canada's spy agency.
Fadden will replace Jim Judd, who is retiring as director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS). The appointment comes into effect on June 27.
"Richard Fadden brings to this position a unique combination of legal expertise and extensive experience in the security and intelligence field," Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in a statement.
Fadden has been a public servant since 1977, working for the Foreign Affairs Department, the auditor general and the Privy Council.
Judd announced in April he was stepping down after 4½ years in the post.
