John Kiriakou - Special Advisor
As a member of the Uzy Financial Board of Directors, John brings his passion for Truth and Integrity along with his life-long trusting connections with members of the Royal Families from various Middle East countries.
John Kiriakou is an American Patriot, former CIA counterterrorism officer, former senior investigator for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and former counterterrorism consultant for ABC News. He was responsible for the capture in Pakistan in 2002 of Abu Zubaydah, then believed to be the third-ranking official in al-Qaeda.
Throughout his career, Kiriakou received 12 CIA Exceptional Performance Awards, the CIA’s Sustained Superior Performance Award, the Counterterrorism Service Medal, and the State Department’s Meritorious Honor Award.
In 2012, Kiriakou was honored with the Joe A. Callaway Award for Civic Courage, an award given to individuals who “advance truth and justice despite the personal risk it creates,” and by the inclusion of his portrait in artist Robert Shetterly’s series Americans Who Tell the Truth, which features notable truth-tellers throughout American history. Kiriakou won the PEN Center USA’s prestigious First Amendment Award in 2015, the first Blueprint International Whistleblowing Prize for Bravery and Integrity in the Public Interest in 2016, and the Sam Adams Award for Integrity in Intelligence, also in 2016. A second portrait, by the noted Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, is in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution.
His portrait appears in the Smithsonian Institution’s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden and in Philadelphia’s Museum of Peace.
