Lexpat is excited to welcome highly respected policy and analysis leader Alice Borene to our team of legal and security experts as a Senior Consultant.  Alice advises clients on an array of security and foreign policy matters, especially those with a European nexus.

Alice brings over fifteen years of experience in U.S. national and international security in diverse areas including intelligence diplomacy, mission management, counterterrorism, domestic and foreign partner cooperation, and civil liberties safeguards and oversight.  She served as an executive in multiple positions within the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) including as the first Director for Human Rights and War Crimes, Director of Export Controls, and Assistant Director for Europe.  She also completed highly sensitive and consequential assignments as Special Assistant to the Deputy Director of National Intelligence (DDNI), and at the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) and National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC).

Before her civilian service, Alice served in the U.S. Army as a Serbian-Croatian linguist and intelligence analyst.  Highlighting her career-long commitment to well-rounded excellence, she graduated first in her class in combat training, language school, and technical training.

“Alice’s array of accomplishments from across the intelligence community and throughout her career in public service show the breadth of her amazing skills and expertise,” said Lexpat’s founder and Managing Director, Adam Pearlman.  “From her experience in senior positions in export controls, tech innovation, privacy, and human rights, Alice offers keen perspective and insight in the areas most needed by our larger clients especially, and particularly those operating or making deals overseas.”

Alice also further strengthens Lexpat’s expertise in international humanitarian law and human rights law.  With her legal background and having served as ODNI’s director for human rights and war crimes, Alice notably has been the editor of the American Bar Association’s respected IHL and IHRL sourcebooks since their first editions published in 2015.  “Alice is a true trailblazer when it comes to the role of intelligence in the human rights and war crimes space,” said Lexpat Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer, Jane Ellen Paschall.  “Add to that her widely-respected expertise in rule of law, transitional justice, international cooperation, and security issues generally, and it’s no secret why Alice’s expertise is so sought-after to assist in numerous programs that we and our public sector and NGO clients and partners are implementing.”
