WASHINGTON, Aug. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Babel Street, the world’s data-to-knowledge company, announced today the appointment of Scott Hansen as senior vice president of International Business Development. Based at the company headquarters, Hansen will report directly to Babel Street President Stephen Coakley.

Hansen’s new role will focus primarily on the development and expansion of strategic solutions to help Babel Street better serve their international clientele. He will oversee expansion as Babel Street extends its services into Canada, the United Kingdom and the Middle East.

With over 15 years of experience, specifically in counterterrorism and counterintelligence, Hansen comes to Babel Street from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as an international intermediary. In his role as an FBI agent, Hansen successfully developed and nurtured partnerships with host countries and multilateral partners as he worked closely with other U.S. law enforcement, intelligence and security services. His experience base also included working closely on numerous investigations, intelligence collections and enforcement operations.

In Hansen’s most recent work with the FBI, before his move to Babel Street, he served as primary liaison to the United States Intelligence Community in Mexico, handling all criminal violations that took place in the state of Quintana Roo, including kidnappings and fugitive apprehension.

“My work with the FBI has given me a deep understanding of international security and allowed me to develop strong relationships across the world,” said Hansen. “Babel Street is on the cutting edge of machine learning, big data and artificial intelligence, all of which are only going to increase in importance during the coming decades. I am honored to be part of such an innovative company that offers truly life-saving solutions worldwide and look forward to expanding our scope of work internationally to further drive the mission of turning the world’s data into knowledge.”
