Career Journeys: John Sipher ’83

On this episode of Career Journeys we are joined by John Sipher ’83 P’19 by phone from Washington D.C.  After a 28-year career in the CIA’s National Clandestine Service, John retired in 2014 and has become a sought-after foreign policy and intelligence expert. His writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, and Politico among other publications, and he has appeared on the PBS NewsHour, CNN, NPR, MSNBC, BBC, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Since retiring from the CIA, John has cofounded Spycraft Entertainment, “a production firm providing firm providing content and talent to the entertainment industry.” At Hobart and William Smith, Sipher was a history major and he has continued to maintain ties to the Colleges by speaking to students at the Day on the Hill trip in Washington D.C.
