WireScreen names former National Intelligence Officer for China David O. Shullman as Strategic Advisor.

WireScreen names former National Intelligence Officer for China David O. Shullman as Strategic Advisor. NEW YORK, Oct. 5, 2026 - WireScreen, the premier China-focused risk intelligence platform, today announced that David O. Shullman, former National Intelligence Officer for China at the National Intelligence Council, has joined the company as a Strategic Advisor. Shullman was the principal intelligence advisor on China to senior U.S. officials and led the U.S. Intelligence Community's strategic analysis on China. Shullman is currently vice president at the Asia Society Policy Institute. Earlier in his career, he served as Deputy National Intelligence Officer for East Asia and as a senior China analyst at the Central Intelligence Agency. Outside government, he was the founding director of the Atlantic Council's Global China Hub and a senior advisor at the International Republican Institute. He has also held positions at Georgetown University and the Center for a New American Security. At WireScreen, Shullman will advise on national security strategy, emerging China-related priorities, and how its research and capabilities can best support the national security community. "David has spent much of his career at the center of U.S. intelligence and policy work on China," said David Barboza, founder and CEO of WireScreen. "He knows the questions senior officials are asking, where the gaps are, and what kinds of information are actually useful. We're excited to have him on board and to have his perspective as we make decisions about where to focus, what we build, and how we work with the national security community." "Some of the hardest questions in national security start with basic facts that can be surprisingly difficult to establish - who owns a company, how organizations are connected, and where commercial activity intersects with broader strategic interests," said Shullman. "I've seen firsthand how important it is to have reliable answers to those questions. I'm excited to work with WireScreen and help the team focus its capabilities and research on the questions that matter most to the national security community." Shullman's appointment follows the appointments earlier this year of David F. Helvey, Bryan S. Ware, and Wayne McCool to WireScreen's Advisory Board. Their backgrounds span defense policy, cybersecurity, and intelligence analysis. About WireScreen WireScreen is the premier China-focused risk intelligence platform, providing proprietary data and analytics on more than 20 million Chinese companies. The platform combines corporate registry records, beneficial ownership data, trade activity, investment relationships, sanctions and export-control designations, and network analysis to help governments, financial institutions, and enterprises uncover hidden risks, understand complex commercial ecosystems, and make more informed decisions.

WireScreen appoints former CIA Associate Deputy Director for Analysis Wayne McCool to Advisory Board. NEW YORK, NY - July 22, 2026 - WireScreen, the premier China-focused risk intelligence platform, today announced that Wayne McCool, former Associate Deputy Director for Analysis at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), has joined the company's Advisory Board. McCool brings more than three decades of intelligence experience, including senior leadership positions at the CIA. As Associate Deputy Director for Analysis, he oversaw the quality and integrity of intelligence analysis, the professional development of thousands of analysts, and the adoption of advanced technologies across the Directorate of Analysis. He is widely known for leading the CIA's digital transformation of intelligence analysis, integrating data science, artificial intelligence, and modern analytic tools into the intelligence workflow while reinforcing the rigorous tradecraft that underpins objective analysis. Earlier in his career, he served as Chief of Analysis for the CIA's Near East Mission Center, directing intelligence analysis during a period of significant geopolitical instability across the Middle East and Africa. "Understanding the organizations behind critical technologies, supply chains, and strategic investments is central to national security analysis. Knowing who they are, how they're connected, and who stands behind them is essential," said David Barboza, founder and CEO of WireScreen. "Wayne spent decades leading intelligence analysis at the highest levels of government, and he understands that answering those questions requires rigorous tradecraft and the right data. His perspective will be invaluable as we continue building the leading platform for analyzing China's commercial and strategic networks." "Today's intelligence and national security professionals aren't struggling because there's too little information. They're struggling because there's too much," said Wayne McCool. "The advantage comes from knowing where to look and how to connect the pieces. WireScreen gives analysts a powerful new way to understand complex corporate ecosystems, and I'm excited to help advance that mission." McCool joins fellow Advisory Board members David Helvey and Bryan Ware, further strengthening WireScreen's expertise across intelligence, defense, cybersecurity, and emerging technology. Together, the Advisory Board brings decades of senior leadership experience to support WireScreen as it expands the capabilities of its platform for intelligence analysts, defense planners, policymakers, and enterprise risk professionals.

"His experience building technology companies and leading the nation's cybersecurity efforts will be invaluable as we continue expanding WireScreen's capabilities to help customers uncover hidden corporate relationships, strategic influence, and risks to national security."

"WireScreen helps customers connect companies, ownership structures, and commercial relationships to the national security and geopolitical risks shaping today's world. That ability to reveal hidden connections is increasingly important, and I'm excited to support the company's next phase of growth."
