Founder of Prisme Intelligence, former intelligence officer and business law specialist, Maï-Linh Camus helps executives read weak signals, anticipate threats and secure their strategic decisions.
Speaker, entrepreneur and founder of Prisme Intelligence, Maï-Linh Camus applies intelligence-service methods to the business world, helping executives anticipate risks, spot opportunities and make clear-headed decisions.
Trained in business law, Maï-Linh Camus began her career in the legal field before joining the armed forces at the age of 24. Singled out for her analytical skills, her ability to build networks and her capacity to decide under uncertainty, she moved into intelligence, learned Russian, trained in the geopolitics of the Caucasus and commanded teams with experience of demanding theatres such as Afghanistan, Kosovo and the former Yugoslavia.
This experience gave her a rare understanding of how sensitive information is collected, verified and used. It also shaped a firm conviction: the right information, obtained at the right time and placed within a strategic framework, can change a decision, protect an organisation and reveal opportunities that would otherwise remain invisible.
On returning to civilian life, she founded Prisme Intelligence, a corporate intelligence firm serving executives, investors and business lawyers. The firm is called upon in particular ahead of an acquisition, a fundraising round, a partnership, an international expansion, a reputational crisis or litigation.
Author of Dans l’ombre de la décision — Le renseignement d’affaires comme arme stratégique, published by Eyrolles in 2026, Maï-Linh Camus argues that economic intelligence is not a luxury reserved for large corporations, but an essential tool of sovereignty, competitiveness and protection for businesses.
