“Training analysts to separate fact from judgment—so executives understand intelligence clearly and make better decisions.”
Meet the Founder & CEO
Following a 29-year career with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Irene Rodriguez founded IRE Global Advisory to help organizations assess, build, and mature intelligence capabilities. As a senior executive, she held national and international leadership roles and had executive responsibility for FBI intelligence analysts assigned across the United States and internationally—including analysts representing the FBI at U.S. embassies worldwide; analysts assigned to CENTCOM, SOUTHCOM, NORTHCOM, AFRICOM, and EUCOM; and analysts supporting INTERPOL.
Irene developed enterprise-wide intelligence processes and strategic initiatives and directed analytic work that contributed to significant operational outcomes. She also served as an instructor at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, where she trained intelligence analysts across core intelligence disciplines. Her work also included strengthening foreign-partner capabilities through assessments, tailored training, and threat briefings and helping leaders turn intelligence and emerging risks into informed decisions and preventive action.
She also directed the timely sharing of actionable intelligence with foreign and private-sector partners while protecting classified information and adhering to governing policies. Irene briefed intelligence executives around the world and private-sector leaders on critical threats—translating intelligence into what the threat meant for them, why it mattered, and what preventive action they could take.
Through IRE Global Advisory, Irene brings her executive judgment, intelligence expertise, international leadership, and program-development experience to help businesses anticipate challenges, strengthen their capabilities, and turn insight into action.
Irene holds a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a master’s degree in Executive Leadership.
