How American nonprofit helped Maria Machado escape Venezuela
(NewsNation) — An American nonprofit carried out yet another successful evacuation last month, this time with a twist.
Grey Bull Rescue, known for saving Americans from dangerous situations and countries across the world, stepped in to help Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado flee the country to receive her Nobel Peace Prize in Norway last month.
The nonprofit’s chairman and founder, Bryan Stern, joined NewsNation on Friday to explain how he helped Machado escape amid great risk to her life.
“The mechanics of it were not that complicated. They weren’t, but her signature, who she is, was profound. This is the most high-profile extraction since the shah of Iran in 1979,” Stern said.

On a Tuesday night earlier this month, Bryan Stern was in a small boat in pitch darkness — somewhere off the coast of Venezuela — navigating 10-foot seas with the most wanted woman in South America.
María Corina Machado, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and Venezuelan opposition leader, was being hunted by intelligence officers from her home country as well as, reportedly, Cuba, Russia, Iran and China, along with cartel operatives. Stern, founder of the Tampa-based rescue organization Grey Bull, was personally leading the extraction.
A combat veteran of the US Army and Navy who spent much of his career in special operations, didn’t direct the mission from a safe distance. He joined Machado on the boat because that’s how Grey Bull operates: The boss goes, too.
