About Nic McKinley
An operator who turned tradecraft on the world's hardest problem.
Nic McKinley served more than a decade in U.S. Air Force Pararescue, then was recruited into the CIA, where he rose to country chief of a specialized unit. Inside the intelligence community he saw the scale of child exploitation up close and realized the same tradecraft used to dismantle terror networks could be turned on human traffickers.
In 2015 he left the CIA to found DeliverFund, a nonprofit intelligence organization that builds technology to help law enforcement find traffickers and rescue victims. A Harvard-educated, three-time technology founder, he also builds data and AI companies that turn overwhelming information into decisions that matter. VICE Media called him the real-life Jack Ryan.
