Teneo, the global CEO advisory firm, today announced that it has acquired Kotinos Partners, a Dublin-based consultancy focused on organizational performance.

“We are delighted to welcome the Kotinos Partners team to Teneo,” said Declan Kelly, Chairman and CEO of Teneo. “They bring a wealth of experience and deep expertise that will be leveraged by our clients both in Ireland and around the globe.”

“Over the last decade, James and Brian have developed unique insights into the right combination of leadership, behaviours, organizational structure and processes that drive company performance at the highest levels. Their insights are critical in these turbulent times for companies,” said Chris Wearing, Chairman, Teneo International.

Kotinos Partners founders James Bowen and Brian MacNeice said: “We have had a fantastic experience building Kotinos, and would like to express our appreciation for all the clients and partners we have worked with along the way. We are excited now to join Teneo – a business which has great people, and a powerful position as a global, multi-disciplinary advisor to leading CEOs. We look forward to working with our new colleagues, and to combining our ideas with theirs to deliver increased positive impact for clients.”
