The Real Life 007: Tony Schiena – A Journey of Action, Impact, and Leadership


Prepare to be inspired by the incredible Tony Schiena at the Small and Rural 2025 Training Conference. With a career that could easily rival any Hollywood action film, Tony Schiena is a real-life 007—a Hollywood actor, World Karate Champion, counterterrorism expert, and former intelligence operative. As the founder and chairman of MOSAIC, Tony has spent his life at the intersection of danger, diplomacy, and action.
From the frontlines of conflict zones to working alongside government agencies, law enforcement, and military forces, Tony has been a pivotal figure in global security. His extraordinary career began in South Africa during the pivotal moments of apartheid’s downfall and has since taken him to some of the most dangerous and high-stakes areas of the world.
Tony’s incredible work includes providing emergency training to the Afghan National Army after a devastating attack, investigating ISIS’s use of chemical weapons against the Kurdish Peshmerga, and training special forces commanders in counterinsurgency tactics. His career is marked by courage, dedication, and an unyielding drive to make the world a safer place.
Tony’s leadership extends beyond the battlefield. A former Deputy Sheriff in Bedford County, Virginia, and a Senior Advisor to SRLEEA, he has used his skills to enhance law enforcement’s abilities to combat drug cartels, human trafficking, and cybercrime. His expertise is sought after globally, serving as a senior advisor to multiple prestigious organizations, including the NW3C and the Global Society of Homeland and National Security Professionals.
For over a decade, Tony has passionately fought against child sex trafficking through his registered 501(c)3 charity, MOSAIC, and has spoken at global platforms like the United Nations, the G20 Women’s Conference in Paris, and the Vatican. His tireless efforts in raising awareness and implementing strategic communications with CNN International have helped combat modern-day slavery on a global scale.
Don’t miss the opportunity to hear from Tony Schiena—a man whose life is defined by extraordinary courage, selfless service, and unwavering commitment to fighting for justice. Join us and be motivated by his journey, his mission, and his call to action. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=326lCZzoc_
