    MichaelSSmithII_CV_Sept2020.qxp_Layout 1 9/10/20 4:21 PM Page 1 MICHAEL S. SMITH II September 2020 Mike Smith and the members of the team he leads are among the very best in the field of ‘Open Source Intelligence,’ or OSINT. And with extremist groups like the Islamic State generating so much activity in social media and the Internet, the ability to collect and analyze OSINT as impressively as Mike and his team do is hugely important. Their insights are absolutely invaluable. —Former CIA Director General David H. Petraeus, USA (Ret)* Michael S. Smith II is a terrorism analyst, open source intelligence specialist, an internationally recognized expert on the influence operations of Salafi-Jihadist groups, and lecturer in Johns Hopkins University’s MA in Global Security Studies program. An international consultant in the fields of preventing and countering violent extremism, his recent projects include providing assistive guidance to the Ministry of Security in Bosnia and Herzegovina under the auspices of a USAID Office of Transition Initiatives-funded program. Since 2009, his work with prominent think tanks and as Principal and COO of Kronos Advisory, a private national security consultancy he cofounded in 2011 with Medal of Honor recipient Major General James E. Livingston, USMC (Ret), has been at the nexus of strategic and tactical threat analysis, technical mitigation support, and the formulation of United States national security policy. During this time, his insights on al-Qa’ida’s and Islamic State’s activities, along with opportunities to more effectively manage threats posed by them have been regularly sought by members of the United States Congress, officials with the Executive Office of the President of the United States, and governments comprising the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS, for which he served as keynote speaker during a counterterrorism practitioners conference hosted at the United Kingdom Foreign and Commonwealth Office headquarters in March 2017.
