Oxford Analytica

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oxford Analytica is a consulting firm founded by David Young, an American who worked on the National Security Staff under Dr. Henry Kissinger. It is notable primarily in the context of proving the value of open source intelligence, and was one of the six companies that responded, pro bono, with useful open source information when asked to do so by the Aspin-Brown Commission.

The company has access to a network of over a thousand academics at the University of Oxford, England. However, despite its name it has no formal connection to Oxford University, and works using a small core staff and an extended network of part-time academics.
