The leader of the civilian structure of NATO (SACEUR controls the military). "Informally selected" - since the Bilderberg Group's 1966 move to take control of this, the appointee has always been someone from amongst their ranks.Boss of the NATO/Deputy Secretary General.

NATO's Secretary General chairs some of the control committees and is drawn from the Bilderberg Group. The Supreme Allied Commander Europe is NATO's top military executive. The Deputy Secretary General of NATO has acted as acting Secretary General of NATO on occasions.

Official narrative

Wikipedia reports that there "is no formal process for selecting the Secretary General. Instead, the members of NATO traditionally reach a consensus on who should serve next. This procedure often takes place through informal diplomatic channels... The appointment is for 4 years, although it may be extended."

Contenders

In February 2023, it was reported that Britain's former PM "Boris Johnson wants to become NATO Secretary General":

"Heading NATO? That's a great idea. You know, it is a very good idea. I want to emphasise, dear friends, that I have this idea, and let no one forget that there is a candidate for NATO Secretary General on the line.
"This time, I think I will be lucky," Mr Johnson said.[1]

In June 2023, British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace ruled himself out of contention to succeed the Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, who is due to retire in September:

Mr Wallace told The Economist “it’s not going to happen” and there are “a lot of unresolved issues in NATO”.
He said the US wants Mr Stoltenberg to stay in the role.
Earlier in the month, US President Joe Biden said he would support a NATO leader from the UK when he met with Rishi Sunak at the White House.
He indicated that Mr Wallace was a “very qualified individual” but it “remains to be seen” who will get the job.
Before his trip to the White House, Mr Sunak said Mr Wallace is widely respected across the world.
On 22 June 2023, Downing Street refused to say whether Mr Sunak was disappointed to see Mr Wallace exit the running to take over at NATO.[2]

Deep state control

Chris Donnelly deep state operative.jpg

It is an open question whether NATO secretarygeneral has any de facto power, or whether, as a Bilderberg appointee he carries out the will of unnamed "special advisers".

Chris Donnelly, the UK deep politician who in 2006 co-founded the Institute for Statecraft, was just such a special adviser to four secretaries general of NATO (for a total of 13 years)[3], as well as to to figures including Margaret Thatcher.[4]

Selection by Bilderberg

The main "informal diplomatic channel" appears to be the Bilderberg meetings. Since the official narrative is that this is a mere social event, which just happens to have military grade secrecy, their control of who becomes NATO Secretary General is hard to prove. Nevertheless, it is interesting that all permanent NATO Secretaries General have attended the Bilberberg, and since the 1966 Bilderberg at which the structure of NATO was top of the agenda[5], all permanent Secretary General appointees attended at least one Bilderberg meeting before being given the job. Two temporary appointees, Sergio Balanzino (1994, 1995) and Alessandro Minuto-Rizzo (2003) are not thought to have attended.
