O'Brien was previously, between 2005–2008, Director of Open Europe, a think tank working for free market reform in Europe. He grew up in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, and took a first in Philosophy, Politics and Economics, at Christ Church, Oxford.
In March 2010, O'Brien co-authored with Ross Clark a wide-ranging book called The Renewal of Government. It was praised by Michael Gove, then Shadow Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families, and now Secretary of State for Education, who said that it "lays down with admirable clarity and form a set of radical policies ... which in the field of education I think are peerless".
O'Brien writes a regular blog for the Daily Telegraph and has written in the Financial Times, the Guardian and the Times. He has appeared on BBC Newsnight, Sky News and Channel Four news. He has spoken on BBC radio programmes including The Moral Maze and the Today Programme. He has commented on a broad range of issues including public spending, welfare reform, housing, education and the environment. He tweets on public policy as "NeilDotObrien."
Neil O'Brien was ranked number 14 in Total Politics’ poll of the top 50 political influencers in Britain, named in The Daily Telegraph as one of the "Top 100 Most Influential people on the Right", in the Sunday Times as one of the "New Political Elite" and as one of the Evening Standard's "Power 1000 of London’s New Influentials".
In November 2012, O'Brien was hired as a policy advisor by Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne.
