Jewish News Syndicate reported in June 2023 that Mond studied economics at the University of Cambridge, trained as an accountant, and worked in corporate finance in the 1980s and 1990s, and that he was a Conservative councillor in Kensington from 1996 to 2002.[1] Companies House lists him as a director and secretary of Redcliffe Training Associates Limited (03951756) from 20 March 2000, and as a director of NJA Projects Ltd (10189920) from 19 May 2016.[4]

Board of Deputies and National Jewish Assembly

Mond told Jewish News Syndicate that he sat on the Board of Deputies of British Jews as a deputy representing the Jewish National Fund, was elected senior vice president in 2021, and resigned in January 2022 after a dispute with the Board's officers over social-media posts.[1] Companies House records him as a director of The Board of Deputies of British Jews Limited (06781106) from 5 June 2021 to 13 January 2022, and of the Board of Deputies Charitable Foundation (03239086) from 9 August 2021 to 13 January 2022.[4][5]

He founded the National Jewish Assembly after leaving the Board.

Conservative Friends of Israel

Reform Jewish Alliance

Jewish News reported on 28 January 2026 that Reform UK had announced the launch of the Reform Jewish Alliance (RJA), and that party sources said Mond, "a high-profile figure who defected from the Tories to Reform, is at the centre of the RJA group". The same article said a launch event was planned for the following month, with Nigel Farage and Richard Tice scheduled to speak.[2] In a GB News opinion article of 19 February 2026, published as by the "new chairman of the RJA", Mond wrote that the Alliance's "main mission is to do all we can to help Nigel Farage win the next general election outright by boosting Jewish support for Reform UK", and that membership would be "open to all faiths or none".[3]
