#285 | Nic McKinley | Founder of DeliverFund
Nic McKinley, the founder of the counter-trafficking organization DeliverFund, joined The Protectors Podcast ™ to talk about the important work they are doing to support law enforcement through direct intelligence support.
About DeliverFund: DeliverFund was founded and is operated by a group of uniquely qualified and trained individuals. They have decades of experience from our careers in the CIA, NSA, Special Operations, and law enforcement, and leverage cutting-edge technology into the ultimate weapon against human trafficking. The traffickers have gone online, so follow them and track them down, using the same technologies that they’re using against them.
About Nic McKinley: As an Operative who served as a Country Chief for a Special Unit within the CIA, Nic witnessed not only the epidemic of child trafficking within illicit markets but also the unrealized opportunity to apply his understanding and training to influence this global crisis. As Nic began to work with experts to better understand the problem in the United States, he found it impossible to turn a blind eye. As a result, DeliverFund was officially established as a 501c3 in October 2014 and our counter human trafficking organization, focused on ending sex slavery in the United States got to work.
Nic spent 11 years in US Special Operations as an Air Force Pararescueman prior to being recruited to the Central Intelligence Agency. Due to his highly specialized training and experience in both special and intelligence operations, Nic has a firm understanding about these illicit, illegal markets and has the highest levels of training to effectively combat them.
