He was Chief of Station for Pakistan and Afghanistan during 9-11, and prepared the original war plan for U.S. military operations in Afghanistan. He later organized and directed joint CIA/Special Forces teams that combined with Afghan militias to drive the Taliban and al-Qa’ida from southern Afghanistan.

From there he served as Director of CIA’s CounterTerrorism Center, where he was responsible for all CIA counter-terrorism operations around the globe. He entered the private sector in 2006, and is now Chairman of ERG Partners, an investment bank providing financial advisory services for firms in the intelligence and security sector.
