He became Central Europe correspondent for The Guardian and later the BBC. He specialised in reporting on the Yugoslav Wars in the early 1990s that followed the breakup of Yugoslavia. While at the BBC, Glenny won Sony special award in 1993`s Radio Academy Awards for his `outstanding contribution to broadcasting`.[7] In McMafia (2008), he wrote that international organised crime could account for 15% of the world`s GDP.[8] Glenny advised the US and some European governments on policy issues and for three years ran an NGO helping with the reconstruction of Serbia, Macedonia and Kosovo. Glenny appeared in the documentary film, Raw Opium: Pain, Pleasure, Profits (2011).[9]

From January 2012, Glenny was visiting professor at Columbia University`s Harriman Institute,[14] teaching a course on `crime in transition`. In an interview in October 2011, he also spoke about his book, DarkMarket; assessing cybercriminals with Simon Baron-Cohen at Cambridge; the Stuxnet cyberattack which resulted in `gloves off` attention from governments; and other more recent cyberattacks.[15]
Glenny was an executive producer of the BBC One eight-part drama series, McMafia, inspired by his non-fiction book of the same name (2008).[16]
