Vice President & Chief Intelligence Strategist:
Jack Hale
Jack Hale is a former intelligence officer with 25+ years at the sharp edge of global security—from high-risk protective details to sophisticated, multi-phase missions against top adversaries. He held a highly competitive position with Global Response Staff (GRS), where he provided advanced intelligence and security solutions in some of the world’s most challenging environments. A recognized expert in surveillance, counter-surveillance, and the orchestration of complex operations for Other Government Organizations (OGA), Jack has also advised foreign militaries on Foreign Internal Defense (FID). Passionate about safeguarding High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNWI) and their families, he now pairs operational know-how with deep-dive intelligence gathering for high-stakes court trials and other sensitive legal matters—anticipating threats and shielding the vulnerable, anywhere, anytime.
“Jack Hale’s foresight and precision turned what could have been a reputational disaster into a non-issue. He detected a hidden surveillance effort targeting our Chief Executive Officer (CEO)’s family estate, deployed a counter-surveillance team overnight, and quietly handed us iron-clad evidence that protected us in court—before the story ever reached the press. His discretion is matched only by his results.”
