Global Intelligence Briefing for CEOs
by Herbert Meyer, 2007
Herb Meyer served during the Reagan administration as special assistant to the Director of Central Intelligence and
Vice Chairman of the CIA's National Intelligence Council. In these positions, he managed production of the U.S.
National Intelligence Estimates (NIE) and other top-secret projections for the President and his national security
advisers.
Meyer is widely credited with being the first senior U.S. Government official to forecast the Soviet Union's
collapse, for which he later was awarded the U.S. National Intelligence Distinguished Service Medal, the intelligence
community's highest honor. Formerly an associate editor of FORTUNE, he is also the author of several books.
