Wynyard Group, the Kiwi developer of intelligence-gathering software used by companies and governments, has appointed a former FBI high-flyer to its advisory board.
The Wellington-based company, which has split from its parent firm Jade Software and will operate as a separate entity as it expands in the United States, says Louis Grever has just retired from the FBI after a 24-year career with the US agency.
He most recently led the FBI's science and technology branch in Washington DC.
Wynyard Group managing director Craig Richardson said securing Grever, who had vast experience in FBI field operations, was a major coup for the company and he would provide valuable advice on how its tools should be developed and deployed to solve problems in the fight against crime and corruption.
"Wynyard is setting a new industry standard in software for operating and connecting risk management, intelligence and investigations cycles," said Richardson.
