SpyCast - Kenya, East Africa, and America” - with African Intelligence Chief Wilson Boinett

This week on SpyCast, we are thrilled to be joined by our first ever African intelligence chief. Brigadier General (Ret.) Wilson Boinett is the individual credited with transforming Kenya’s National Intelligence Service into the world-class agency it is today. Following a decades long career in the Kenyan Army, Wilson became the first Director of the newly created intelligence agency in 1999. He believed in the possibly of change and the potential for collaboration amongst East African countries and set out to do just that. Tune in to this week’s episode to learn more about his extraordinary career and lessons in leadership.
This episode is the second in our Spy Chiefs Special series. Stay tuned in the weeks to come to hear perspectives from Ireland, India, and the first woman to direct an American intelligence organization.
And…
Wilson is a member of the National Defense University International Fellows Hall of Fame, Class of 1991. This prestigious award honors NDU alumni who have achieved the highest ranks of armed forces or government and made a great impact on their country’s national security. It’s safe to say Wilson has more than earned his spot! And, he is in good company - one of our recent SpyCast alumni, Admiral Hernando Wills, Class of 2008.
