Nick Maduck is the founder and Director of Pillar Veritas and has 35 years of combined investigative experience in the public and private sectors.

Nick holds an Honours B.Sc. in Chemistry and began his career as a forensic scientist with the RCMP Forensic Laboratory, stationed in British Columbia and Saskatchewan. As a forensic chemist, he was responsible for scientific analysis of crime scene evidence. During his time at the laboratory, he provided expert testimony and scientific reports for courts in British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. His forensic investigation experience includes murder, arson, break and enter, bombings, sexual assault, and sabotage. As a result of this experience, Nick remains acutely aware of the value of physical evidence in criminal and civil investigations.

From 1977 to 1981, Nick performed RCMP regular police duties in Manitoba. He was subsequently transferred to the RCMP Security Service in Alberta where he conducted counter-terrorism, counter-espionage and other national security investigations. In 1984, the Canadian government created the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) to assume responsibility for investigating threats to the security of Canada.

From 1984 to 1996, Nick served as a senior Intelligence Officer for CSIS in both Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta. During this time, he acquired extensive operational experience related to the investigation and threat analysis of:

• Domestic/International terrorism
• Foreign intelligence activity
• Transnational organized crime
• Economic/industrial espionage
• Proliferation of weapons of mass destruction

As the Corporate Liaison Officer for CSIS in Calgary, he liaised extensively with the private sector, particularly with those companies conducting business in the international arena where threats to their security, from a safety and an economic standpoint, were significant.

In 1996, Nick left CSIS, opting to utilize his experience in the private sector to provide investigation and security risk consulting services directly to Canada’s corporate, legal and financial communities. In that same year, he founded Pillar Homefield Corp., parent to Pillar Veritas.

For the past ten years, Nick has provided investigation and security consulting services to a wide array of clients in Canada, the United States, Britain, and other countries. During his 35 years of experience in law enforcement, security intelligence and parallel activity in the private sector, Nick has developed a national and global network of investigation and security professionals. As a result, Nick is exceptionally equipped to satisfy his clients’ tasking requirements both in Canada and internationally.
