Testimonials

"In order to help educate our donors, in April, 2025 the Special Operations Fund asked Glenn Corn, a recently retired CIA operations officer, to put together a panel of former CIA officials to speak at our annual meeting on the threats facing the United States and give insight on the international players who were leading those threats.  Mr. Corn chose the panel and served as the narrator.    Our expectations were high and there was a great deal of excitement among our donors when we announced the panel.

Mr. Corn not only met but exceeded our high expectations.  His knowledge of the leaders who may pose a threat to our country was only exceeded by his ability to communicate it to our audience.  He not only gave us insight into the threats but also offered possible solutions to how they might be mitigated.  He did this while very effectively injecting humor into otherwise very serious subjects.  Our members agreed it was one of the best presentations we have had in our organization's 33 years history and all agreed they would like Mr. Corn to return for future briefings.
 
Any organization who would like to educate its members on current events affecting the world could not employ a more qualified speaker with a broader resume than Mr. Corn."
 
D. Michael Walden, Chairman
SPECIAL OPERATIONS FUND

"Mr. Corn’s (Glenn’s) participation in our panel of experts’ discussion on the evolving relationships among authoritarian regimes was invaluable. His insights and analysis helped sharpen our experts’ understanding of how these nations are deepening their strategic alignments and better answer the strategic intelligence questions that matter most to our clients."

Strider Technologies, July 2025

Glenn Corn offered an immersive look into the world of intelligence through captivating storytelling and personal narrative. Corn, former CIA Senior Executive, captured the attention of each and every participant; he was entertaining, exceptionally knowledgeable, and undoubtedly personal, shedding light into fascinating scenes from intelligence history in a clear, relatable way. Even when our tour was faced with unexpected thunderstorms, Corn’s flexibility and charisma ensured the session remained captivating and interactive.

Russian Information Operations

But often, our opponents and enemies, and at times even our allies, use “Information Operations” to influence and manipulate our decision making and thinking.  The information may be “legitimate” but the way that it is presented and how the target audience responses can have significant impact. Below is one example […]
