"It takes a network to fight a network" (D. S.)
In the labyrinth of global corruption and organized crime, a beacon of truth shines through the data-driven work of the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP). This episode takes a deep dive with co-founder Drew Sullivan as he shares the story behind the most comprehensive database on international corruption.
By aggregating billions of data points, from public records to leaked documents, OCCRP empowers journalists worldwide to uncover the intricate networks of criminal activity. But the journey wasn't simple. Drew recounts the organic evolution into a robust, open-source platform that serves as an indispensable resource for investigative journalism.
The conversation also explores the critical role of a tech-savvy vision within nonprofits, the necessity of a mission-driven CTO, and the importance of building an ecosystem rather than an empire. As OCCRP continues to lay the groundwork for a more transparent world, their work stands as a testament to the transformative power of technology when aligned with unwavering dedication to the public interest.
