Douglas Laux | Speaker Biography

Former CIA Case Officer
Author of Left of Boom
Star of Finding Escobar's Millions

Douglas Laux has a decade of experience serving the United States Intelligence Community, with a focus on the Middle East and Indian Subcontinent. He worked undercover against the Taliban and Al Qaeda, undergoing rigorous physical and intelligence tests at "The Farm" as a war zone case officer. Since his time with the CIA, Douglas has authored a New York Times best-selling memoir titled Left of Boom, the first book written by a CIA case officer who served in the field during the Global War on Terrorism. He has also created, written, produced, and starred in six episodes of Discovery Channel's Finding Escobar's Millions in 2017. Douglas believes that successful intelligence officers possess a calm demeanor to handle unexpected situations and the determination to overcome obstacles independently. As an "Assessor" on Spy Games, he seeks intelligent contestants who can quickly grasp concepts and skills. Douglas shares his personal journey from the poorest trailer park in Indiana to a successful career at the CIA and now television. His speaking topics include national security, foreign affairs (particularly related to the Middle East or Asia), espionage in various forms, and the dangers of social media.
