Matthew Dunn is a former MI6 intelligence officer. He spent many years operating under numerous alias identities, targeting the highest echelons of rogue states. Typically operating alone in hostile overseas territories and with zero support, his primary remit and focus was obtaining human intelligence from individuals with priority secrets. Trained to be an “A-Z spy”, Matthew was skilled in the full raft of espionage tradecraft including surveillance, infiltration and exfiltration, small arms, direct action, covert communications, and agent handling. His work against ‘Category 1’ targets was highly acclaimed, including a very rare personal commendation from the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Since leaving service, Matthew has been a bestselling author of spy thrillers, and is currently a TV and theatre storyteller and script writer, creative consultant to the film and TV industries, security and intelligence expert for the media, podcast host, mentor to aspiring authors, and a life coach for senior executives and other leaders.
