PENN II

John Penn II, Senior Architect for Law Enforcement Technologies at Adobe, Inc San Jose, California, has spent over four decades writing software and 27 years at Adobe. His first eleven years were spent working as a Senior Computer Scientist on Photoshop. But after attending the first Silicon Valley Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Conference, John was so profoundly affected by what he heard that he moved into what has become the most challenging, rewarding chapter of his career: helping locate missing and exploited children around the world. He’s now spent over 20 years working with government, law enforcement and non-profits in the missing and exploited children space. He currently sits on the board of directors for the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in Alexandria, VA.
