Salazar will lead a committee tasked with a smooth transition should Clinton win the November general election in the US.
"Once Hillary Clinton makes history by being elected as the nation’s first woman president, we want to have a turnkey operation in place so she can hit the ground running right away,” Salazar said.
"This transition team will undertake the preparations necessary to ensure our next president has the resources and staff to carry out this all-important work.”
