Former CIA CTO Bob Flores Becomes Brinker's Newest Member

Background

Brinker is a narrative intelligence company dedicated to combating disinformation and influence campaigns.
The company was founded by Benny Schnaider, Daniel Ravner, and Oded Breiner.

Brinker has announced that Bob Flores, former Chief Technology Officer of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, has joined its advisory board.
Flores' appointment strengthens Brinker's mission to transform the fight against disinformation, moving from detection to real-time, technology-driven mitigation at global scale.
According to Flores, "Most disinformation efforts fail because they rely on manual operations that can't match the speed and scale of today's influence campaigns. Brinker's AI-native approach enables responses that were previously impossible, turning real-time analysis and large-scale mitigation into a reality."
Brinker's platform uses proprietary, battle-proven language models to trace how stories evolve and spread over time, uncovering connections that traditional tools take weeks to detect.
Flores brings decades of experience in national security and enterprise technology innovation. As the CIA's former CTO, he led digital transformation and information-sharing initiatives across U.S. intelligence agencies.
Brinker's CEO and CTO believe Flores' expertise in intelligence and technology will help the company accelerate its global impact and take its automated OSINT technology to the next level.
This appointment follows the addition of Avi Kastan, former CEO and Co-Founder of Sixgill, further strengthening Brinker's advisory board with deep expertise in intelligence, cybersecurity, and threat analysis.
