Danni Brooke is a globally recognised cybersecurity specialist, intelligence expert, speaker, and bestselling author, known for her unique ability to bridge the gap between technical threat intelligence and human behaviour. A former Metropolitan Police Officer, Danni became the most deployed female undercover operative in British policing history, working on complex investigations involving drugs, weapons, trafficking, and organised crime. Her first-hand experiences make her a powerful and credible voice in discussions on covert operations, crime prevention, and security.
After leaving public service, Danni made a bold career change, becoming the Co-Founder and Co-Owner of The OSINT Group, a world-leading open-source intelligence and cybersecurity firm.

This evolution from frontline policing to screen and boardroom has made her a standout personality in both the intelligence and entertainment worlds.
Danni is a two-time award-winning, Amazon bestselling author. Her books, "The Girl for the Job" and "Undercover Copper", detail her life in covert policing and have resonated with audiences worldwide. These titles have been optioned for a major television drama series, further demonstrating the impact of her story and insight.
