As the Senior Intelligence Analyst, I led a team of 45 members across six geographically separated bases as the Intelligence Director for Joint Task Forces. In this dynamic role, I executed senior executive leader priorities by efficiently managing limited assets, enabling the success of 15 operations. These responsibilities included ensuring adherence to laws and policies for intelligence operations, reviewing target packages for deficiencies, and negotiating with senior executive leaders for authorization to take hostile actions. I actively liaised with Combatant Command Staff, senior U.S. government executives, inter-agencies, and international partners, fostering collaboration on counterterrorism operations, hostage recovery efforts, and counter-near peer initiatives. My expertise extended to evaluating, analyzing, and reviewing over 5,200 reports and 600 threats, publishing 500 briefs for senior leaders across the interagency, and enabling various programs. I streamlined critical information reports for senior executive leadership to facilitate real-time combat intelligence. I played a pivotal role in planning and developing Special Operation and conventional forces combat ability against Integrated Air Defense Systems, enhancing Suppression of Enemy Air Defense Systems capabilities through tactical exercises. I am an expert at leveraging diverse intelligence sources such as SIGINT, HUMINT, and publicly available information. I targeted leads to support full-spectrum intelligence activities and operations for multiple combatant commands. Additionally, I managed intelligence collection strategies, theater targeting cycles, and the strike process, ensuring priorities aligned with current objectives in both inside and outside theaters of declared conflict. I am committed to meeting operational objectives, and this is demonstrated through my ability to establish targeting criteria guidelines and the promotion of adherence to kinetic strike regulations.
