The State Department’s acting inspector general is resigning from his role after less than three months in the position to return to the private sector, the agency announced Wednesday.

Acting Inspector General Stephen Akard will be replaced by Diana Shaw, who will take on the watchdog role in an acting capacity as well. Shaw previously served as deputy inspector general.

Akard will also be leaving his position as director of the Office of Foreign Missions.

"Ambassador Stephen J. Akard, the State Department’s Acting Inspector General and the Director of the Office of Foreign Missions, has announced he is returning to the private sector after years of public service,” a State Department spokesperson said.
