Danni Brooke is a cybersecurity specialist, intelligence expert and inspirational speaker whose career spans frontline policing, undercover operations and cutting-edge cyber investigations. A former Metropolitan Police Officer and one of the most deployed female undercover operatives in British policing history, she brings rare, real-world insight into risk, resilience and modern threat environments. Her work now bridges cyber security, intelligence and public education, making her a powerful voice across business, media and leadership audiences.
Danni began her career in the Metropolitan Police, where she specialised in covert operations and intelligence-led policing. Her operational experience placed her at the sharpest end of law enforcement, working undercover across complex investigations and developing a deep understanding of human behaviour, threat detection and decision-making under pressure. This background laid the foundation for her later work in cybersecurity and open-source intelligence.
Following her policing career, Danni co-founded The OSINT Group, where she now serves as Co-Owner and Co-Founder, advising organisations on cyber threats, digital investigations and intelligence gathering. She rose to wider public recognition as a lead investigator on Channel 4’s 'Hunted' and 'Celebrity Hunted', bringing her operational expertise to primetime television. Alongside this, she contributes regularly to true crime documentaries, news outlets and consults for television and film productions to ensure authenticity and accuracy.
As a speaker and author, Danni combines authority with accessibility. She is an Amazon bestselling author of 'The Girl for the Job' and 'Undercover Copper', both of which have been optioned for a major television drama series. Shortlisted for Cyber Woman of the Year 2025, she has spoken at major global platforms, including InfoSec Europe and LinkedIn in San Francisco. Her sessions cover OSINT, cyber threats, resilience and female leadership, equipping audiences with practical insight drawn directly from lived operational experience.
