The people behind the work
Mazin Intel is a founder-led intelligence practice. The founder produces and signs the analysis; named specialists support the work in finance, data and maritime security. The roster below lists each person, the role they hold and where they work from.
Team members work from London, UK, Mogadishu, Somalia, Garowe, Somalia, Nairobi, Kenya. These are the places individuals live and work, not Mazin Intel offices; the practice operates as a distributed team.

Mogadishu, Garowe and Nairobi are places people live and work, and they are also areas the practice covers. They are not offices, and no local presence, staff or access is implied by a location on this page.
How the work is arranged
One analyst accountable, specialists behind him
Analysis
Country, corridor and maritime assessment is produced and reviewed by the founder. Published records carry their own sources, confidence language and evidence limits regardless of who compiled them.
Support
Finance, data handling and maritime research are held by named specialists. Their work strengthens the practice behind the published output; it does not change what a reader can verify in a report.
Limits
The practice does not operate field teams, guarding, rescue or evacuation. It offers analysis and advisory work only, and states what it cannot do as plainly as what it can.
Standards
What the roster does and does not claim
Team entries are supplied by Mazin Intel and describe the roles people are expected to hold. They are not independent verification of employment, qualifications or client relationships, and an invited entry is not a confirmed engagement.
