Leading global CEO advisory and integrated communications firm serving Fortune 500 companies and senior executives worldwide
Teneo is a global advisory firm founded in 2011 by Declan Kelly, Paul Keary, and Doug Band, originally as a strategic communications and advisory firm for CEOs and senior executives. The firm has grown significantly through acquisitions and organic expansion to offer an integrated suite of services spanning management consulting, communications, capital markets advisory, risk, restructuring, and talent management. Teneo differentiates itself by providing holistic, integrated counsel to the world's leading companies and their leaders, combining capabilities that are typically siloed across different advisory firms. While Teneo is not a traditional AdTech company, it operates at the intersection of corporate communications, reputation management, and strategic advisory — areas that increasingly overlap with brand strategy, media relations, and marketing communications in the broader ecosystem. Its communications practice includes crisis communications, public affairs, digital communications, and brand strategy, which touch on the advertising and marketing technology landscape. The firm serves Fortune 500 companies, global institutions, and high-profile executives across a wide range of industries. Teneo has expanded its global footprint to over 40 offices across more than 20 countries, making it one of the most geographically diverse CEO advisory firms in the world. The firm has attracted significant private equity backing, including investment from CVC Capital Partners, which has supported its continued growth and acquisition strategy. With thousands of employees globally, Teneo competes with major consulting and communications firms such as McKinsey, FTI Consulting, and Edelman.
