Who’s Who in Public Intelligence: Jack Davis

Alpha A-D, Public Intelligence

PLATINUM LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

Jack Davis

For over three decades, Jack Davis has been the heir to Sherman Kent and the mentor to all those who would strive to be the world’s most effective all-source intelligence analysts. As a Central Intelligence Agency analyst and educator, he combines intellect, integrity, insight, and an insatiable appetite for interaction with all manner of individuals regardless of rank and disposition. He is the most able pioneer of “analytic tradecraft,” the best proponent for the value of human analysis over technical processing, and one of those very special individuals who helped define the end of 20^th Century centralized analysis and the beginning of 21^st Century distributed multinational multiagency analysis.

Alpha E-H, Public Intelligence

PLATINUM LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

Professor Robert Heibel

Professor Robert Heibel, a veteran of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, is unique for having established both an undergraduate and a graduate program in intelligence and research analysis. His pioneering efforts have provided varied intelligence communities with very high-quality individuals, properly trained, at a time when their respective countries need them badly. His development of training materials that did not exist, of a training program that did not exist, of a philosophy of education in the national service that did not exist anywhere else at the time, is worthy of the highest regard.
