Born to a notable British family, Mosley began his career after graduating from Oxford in 2006.[1][2] He began working in research and politics, working first at the Centre for Global Studies and later for Rory Stewart, a conservative Member of Parliament.[1] Currently, Mosley serves as the CEO of Palantir Technologies UK, the London based division of the American defense and technology firm.
Early life and background
[edit]Mosley attended Oxford University, graduating with a degree in 2006. His first job after university was at the Centre for Global Studies, under Robert Skidelsky. Interestingly, Skidelsky also authored the biography of Mosley's grandfather,[1] Oswald Mosley, the founder of the British Union of Fascist in the 1930s and an eventual a prisoner for his public Nazi sympathies during WWII.[3][4]
After working in research, Mosley entered politics as a staff member in the Conservative MP Rory Stewart's office, supporting the office with constituent projects in Stewart's parish. After his time as a staffer, he ran as a councilor in the Brompton ward of Kensington and Chelsea, winning by over 600 votes.[1][5] The race was a by-election, occurring after the death of the Iain Hanham, the sitting councilor for the ward.[6] Mosley held the position until 2014. He attempted another run in the London borough of Hackney, placing 12th of 13th candidates.[7]
After a career in politics, he pivoted into the private sector. Mosley worked in finance for a number of years before moving to Palantir, a US technology firm.[3] While working in finance, he held a role at Santander bank.[3]
Career
[edit]Mosley is the CEO of Palantir's UK division, which employs about 25% of its total global workforce.[8] In May 2025, Mosley was appointed to the Ministry of Defence’s Industrial Joint Council, a recently convened council comprised of industry and government officials supporting innovation, financing, and partnership in the UK's growing defence sector.[9]
Mosley has had several high profile public moments with respect to Palantir's business in the UK. In May 2025, Mosley publicly stated the UK's request for digital identification cards did not have the proper privacy safeguards, and Palantir would not assist the government with this project.[10] Contrarily, and as a result of public skepticism of the firm, in July 2025 Mosley provided testimony to the Science, Innovation and Technology Committee in the House of Commons with respect to Palantir's bidding strategy for data management projects at the NHS during the COVID-19 crisis and subsequent contracts.[11] This testimony came after years of debate about the UK government's relationship with the firm, beginning with the uncovering of exchanges between the conservative government in 2019 with Mosley, discussing the potential for contracting with the NHS.[12] He has also publicly spoken strongly in favor of his firm selling defence technology to Israel during the on-going Gaza war, stating that the West is allied with the state of Israel.[13]
In December 2025, Palantir won a three year government contract with the Ministry of Defense worth £240 million, after hiring four ex-Ministry of Defence workers to the company's UK division in the same year.[14]
Mosley continues to lead the company's growing share of work in the defence sector, supporting the deployment of AI and other advanced technologies across government functions.[15]
