James E. Gaylord served as an FBI Special Agent and Supervisor for over thirty years, leading counterintelligence and counterterrorism investigations against every major hostile nation and international terrorist organization. In 2004, he spearheaded one of the most complex espionage investigations imaginable, that of Chi Mak, his family, and his associates. The efforts of Agent Gaylord and his squad led to the unprecedented, historic convictions of six spies for China and multiple counterintelligence awards.
Since these convictions, Special Agent Gaylord has supplied hundreds of case briefings worldwide to academia, government agencies, defense contractors, and professional and private organizations. He has also provided interviews and materials for various magazine articles, television programs, podcasts, US intelligence training sessions, and museum exhibitions. In 2017, he concluded his FBI career supervising investigations of the People's Republic of China in order to direct corporate ethics investigations in the private sector.
