MICHAL BLOCK

Director of Intelligence, Skull Games

After an amazing career as an Intelligence Operator in the Canadian Armed Forces, Michal retired to Israel to live out her days in the warmth of the Mediterranean Sea mastering Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Contrary to her plans, after six years she was offered the opportunity to help build a counter-sex trafficking, OSINT crowd-sourcing initiative in the United States.
