Managing Director, Paladin Capital Group

About

Lt. Gen. (Ret) Kenneth A. Minihan is the only venture capital investor to have led both the Defense Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency before entering private investing, bringing unusually deep dual-agency operational insight to Paladin Capital Group's national-security-focused investments. After 9/11, his discussions with Paladin redefined the firm's mission toward technologies that defend critical infrastructure and increase societal resilience, making him a core architect of the firm's security-focused identity while advocating that private capital can simultaneously deliver returns and do something good for America and its allies.
