A private intelligence and security advisory with European and American reach.
About Kingfisher.
A background shaped by intelligence, counterintelligence, and cross border work.
Kingfisher Intel was founded by Bryce Ernst, a former FBI Special Agent and U.S. military special operations strategist. His career spans counterintelligence investigations, human intelligence operations, and international risk work for government and private-sector clients. This experience informs every engagement and supports the firm’s work across Europe and the United States.
Good intelligence is built on disciplined collection, clear analysis, and a grounded understanding of how people and organizations behave under pressure. Kingfisher applies these principles to help clients make confident decisions when information is incomplete or the environment is complex.
Why the Kingfisher?
The kingfisher symbolizes precision and measured action. It moves quietly, waits patiently, and strikes only when the moment is right. That is the standard we bring to every engagement. Focused. Deliberate. Never louder than necessary.
