Cory Hall serves as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Board of Directors of Project VIC International, effective January 1, 2026, after serving as Chief Technology Officer in 2025 and as a volunteer since 2019. He succeeds Project VIC’s founder, Rich Brown, following Rich’s retirement after more than a decade of leadership.
Cory’s career was shaped in national security roles spanning cybersecurity and intelligence, where he repeatedly saw the urgent need for stronger capabilities in the ICAC mission. He previously served at the MITRE Corporation as a Group Leader, Project Leader, and Principal Cybersecurity Engineer, leading R&D teams that developed cyber-domain analysis methods, machine learning applications for cybercrime data, and new approaches to digital forensic examination. He holds an M.S. in Cybersecurity and a B.S. in Information Technology, is a U.S. Army veteran, and participates in professional communities supporting high-integrity digital investigations, including INTERPOL-led working groups, the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS), DFRWS, and SWGDE.
Since joining Project VIC as a volunteer in 2019, Cory has helped modernize and scale the organization’s technology and operations. He rebuilt Project VIC’s public web presence, implemented a ticketing and knowledge management system, and established workflows that supported onboarding and sustained engagement for the Project VIC hash-sharing ecosystem—helping enable the enrollment of 2,300+ crimes-against-children investigators over five years. Cory also helped Project VIC compete for and win research and development support, including grants from the End Violence Against Children Fund and Microsoft AI for Good. While at MITRE, he served as Principal Investigator for the Sexual Assault Feature Extraction and Reduction (SAFER) research project, which explored novel machine learning techniques to assist investigators while providing tunable officer safety controls. He collaborated with investigators and academic partners—including University College Dublin and the University of New Haven—to develop capabilities, build training datasets, train models, and publish research. MITRE licensed SAFER technology to Project VIC, and Cory continued as a volunteer to integrate it into a commercial vendor solution and expand free access for law enforcement agencies.
As CEO, Cory’s focus is to strengthen Project VIC’s mission delivery at global scale—expanding adoption, accelerating investigator-centered product development, growing partnerships and sustainable funding, and continuing to recruit and lead volunteer engineers and scientists. While serving as Project VIC's Chief Technology Officer in 2025, Cory launched the "GPUs for Good" and "Crimes Against Children Ontology" initiatives.
