Policy Fellow, Centre for Science and Policy

Gabriel Elefteriu is Director of Research at Policy Exchange. He also heads the think tank’s Space Policy Unit – the first of its kind in the UK – which he designed and helped to establish in April 2019 with the mission of championing a full development of British space power as a critical component of the country’s national interest in the 21st century. In his policy and advocacy work, Gabriel operates at the intersection between 10 Downing Street, Whitehall departments, Parliament and industry. His background expertise is in space affairs, defence and foreign policy and strategy. He has a particular interest in net assessment, the framework for strategic analysis developed at the Pentagon by Andrew Marshall.

In his previous role at Policy Exchange, Gabriel was Senior Defence Fellow within the “Britain in the World” project, co-authoring a number of papers with Professor John Bew. Before joining Policy Exchange in 2014, Gabriel was Senior Defence Analyst and Consultant with a defence market intelligence company, working with global defence and homeland security industry clients, including A&D primes. His earlier experience includes a number of business and security intelligence roles in the City.

Gabriel holds a BA in War Studies (First-Class) and an MA in Intelligence and International Security (Distinction) from King’s College London, where his main research focus was on space security and strategy. He is also an Associate of King’s College.
