Bjorn Beam

Bjorn Beam spent over a decade as a CIA intelligence officer in covert and paramilitary operations, including a posting on the Presidential Daily Briefing team during the first Trump administration. He worked at the front lines of national security, disrupting North Korea's weapons programs and hunting terrorist networks, before turning that same intelligence discipline toward research and advisory work. Today he leads geopolitical and tech consulting at Arcano Research, briefing corporate boards, military leadership, and governments across Spain, Qatar, and beyond on defense, semiconductors, and energy, the fault lines deciding who actually runs the world.
