Expert Interviews is an exclusive series provided by The Gulf Nashra, where we sit down with leading researchers, policymakers, and analysts to examine the political, economic, and geopolitical dynamics shaping the Gulf, and what they mean for the rest of the world.
Our conversation today is with Dr. Neil Quilliam. He is an energy policy, geopolitics, and foreign affairs specialist focused on the Middle East and North Africa region. He is a partner at Azure Strategy Consulting and previously led Gulf-focused projects at Chatham House, including the Future Dynamics in the Gulf initiative. He has also served as senior MENA energy adviser at the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office, senior MENA analyst at Control Risks, and senior programme officer at the United Nations University in Amman. His research and analysis focus on Gulf politics, regional security, and the intersection between energy strategy and geopolitical developments across the Arab world.
