Former FBI Counsel Brad Brooker Moves to Kodex Global
Brad Brooker, who spent nearly two decades navigating the intersection of national security and digital privacy at the FBI and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, has joined Kodex Global as General Counsel to oversee the company’s secure data exchange network.
Kodex acts as a digital bridge between government agencies and private sector platforms, managing legal record requests for 15,000 agencies and 160,000 verified agents. The platform automates the verification of legal process and scope, aiming to prevent the transmission of invalid or overbroad data requests. Brooker, who transitioned from a partnership at Holland & Knight, emphasizes that the efficiency of these digital rails is essential to preventing investigative stalls.
During his seventeen-year government tenure, Brooker led the FBI’s National Security and Cyber Law Branch and served as Acting General Counsel for the ODNI. CEO Matt Donahue noted that Brooker’s background in balancing government data needs with individual privacy protections makes him uniquely qualified to scale the company’s compliance infrastructure. By embedding legal verification directly into the exchange process, the firm seeks to replace manual, slow-moving investigative procedures with automated, legally compliant workflows.
