An accomplished senior leader in the CIA’s Directorate of Operations, Kevin spent many years analyzing political and security issues around the world and responding to requests to deliver high-level briefings to the intelligence community, Congress, and White House policy makers on a variety of issues. He has collaborated extensively with multiple foreign liaison partners, particularly in the areas of counterproliferation and counterterrorism. From an overseas location, Kevin led some of the Agency’s most complex counterterrorism operations abroad. Kevin’s final job in government service was with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), where he was the Senior Advisor for Counterterrorism.
