THE PERSON BEHIND BEACON
Patricia Bailey
Principal Analyst & Founder
I’m an open-source and protective intelligence specialist with 14 years of experience, including seven years supporting the CIA’s Open Source Enterprise. My background spans counterterrorism research, investigations for Fortune 500 companies, influence operations research, threat actor attribution, and training military and government teams in OSINT research techniques. Through Beacon, I help clients investigate threats, assess executive exposure, and connect the information they need to act.
