ABOUT
Jack Beaumont
Jack Beaumont is the pseudonym of a former operative of the French foreign secret service, the DGSE. Jack led clandestine and offensive operations in various countries under false identities for seven years. After studying mathematics and physics engineering, Jack started his military career in the French Air Force as a fighter pilot on single seaters, specialising in air-to-air combat. After injuring his back in a flying accident, he was retrained to fly special operations and intelligence missions in various crisis and war zones. Jack was then recruited by ‘The Company’ after he participated in an operation in the Balkans. He was internally selected and trained to be in the field.
