Eli M. Gold

President

Eli M. Gold, an accomplished leader and strategist, has dedicated his career to shaping international policy, fostering bipartisan collaboration, and advancing strategic solutions to complex global challenges.

As the President of the Gold Institute for International Strategy in Washington, D.C., since May 2019, Eli has spearheaded the creation of a dynamic policy organization focused on delivering practical insights and effective solutions to pressing global issues. Under his leadership, the Institute has convened a bipartisan international working group comprising former members of congress, parliamentarians, diplomats, and military leaders from 10 countries to address the future of alliance strategy. Eli provides invaluable policy guidance to lawmakers in the U.S. and abroad, while also mentoring and directing the Institute’s 35 fellows and staff.

Prior to his role at the Gold Institute, Eli co-founded and served as Senior Vice-President of The London Center for Policy Research in New York, NY/Washington, D.C. His visionary leadership was instrumental in assembling a team of senior policy experts spanning the military, intelligence, and diplomatic communities to tackle critical foreign policy and national security challenges. Eli’s bipartisan coalition of congressional members facilitated in-depth studies on national security and foreign policy matters, while his engagement with foreign ambassadors, parliamentarians, and military leaders fostered dialogue and provided guidance on global issues. He also played a pivotal role in establishing the TransAtlantic Dialogue, facilitating candid discussions on security concerns between members of Congress and European parliamentarians.

Eli’s commitment to public service and advocacy extends beyond international affairs. As the Founding Chairman of The Harbour League in Baltimore, MD, he pioneered efforts to promote free-market and conservative ideas, addressing public policy concerns in Maryland. Through his leadership, The Harbour League evolved into a unique state-based think tank, offering research-driven recommendations on key local issues and attracting renowned speakers and public figures.

Earlier in his career, Eli held leadership roles at the Insurance Group of America and The MONY Group, where he developed innovative marketing strategies and insurance programs, and cultivated strong client relationships.

Throughout his career, Eli has been a sought-after media commentator, contributing his expertise to national, international, and local TV, radio, and print media outlets. His passion for effective policy solutions and his ability to foster collaboration across sectors make him a respected leader in the field of international relations and public policy.
