Analyst Talk - Robert Aboumitri - The Triple V Analyst

Episode: 00314 Released on April 13, 2026 Description:  In this episode of Analyst Talk with Jason Elder, recently retired RCMP analyst Robert Aboumitri shares insights from a 24 year career that helped shape modern communications data analysis including analyzing 46 billion call detail records in a landmark international investigation. A certified expert witness in communications data analysis and geospatial analysis, with 24 years of RCMP experience and international investigative work, Robert brings a unique perspective to the evolution of intelligence work. From pioneering cell site analysis to building specialized analytical units and training analysts worldwide, he breaks down the Triple V of modern data, volume which refers to the massive amounts of data being created, variety which reflects the many different formats and sources of data, and velocity which captures the speed at which data is generated and must be processed. He further discusses the growing role of technical skills and the realities of managing analysts while reminding us that behind every dataset are real people impacted by the work.
