Teneo Announces UK Senior Appointments
Teneo, the global CEO advisory firm, today announced two key senior leadership appointments to support the firm’s continued growth in the UK and around the world.
Nick Claydon has been appointed to a new, broader role as Vice Chairman, Global Strategy & Communications (S&C). He will, therefore, transition from his current position leading Teneo’s UK S&C business to spend more time advising CEOs and clients around critical challenges.
Nick has successfully run Teneo’s UK S&C business for five years. During that time, he led the team through the pandemic and a period of growth, including the successful integration of Tulchan Communications. He leaves Teneo’s UK S&C business as it is having a record year and positioned as a formidable and differentiated force in the market.
Andrew Feldman will succeed Nick as CEO of UK S&C. He joined Teneo in 2023 as part of Teneo’s acquisition of Tulchan Communications. Andrew was Managing Partner of Tulchan from 2019 to 2023, where he was responsible for the day-to-day management of the firm and advised key clients on their strategic communications. Prior to that, he was a Partner at Macro Advisory Partners, advising multinational clients on geopolitical risk. From 2010 to 2016, Andrew served as Chairman of the Conservative Party in the UK.
As part of this transition, Geoff Morrellwill now oversee the UK S&C business in his role as President of Global S&C. This will help foster even greater collaboration across the broader S&C business where Geoff already has responsibility for Teneo’s Europe, Middle East and Asia-Pac S&C businesses.
“We are delighted to announce new leadership roles for Nick and Andrew,” said Geoff Morrell, President of Global S&C, Teneo. “They are both great client counselors and leaders within our business and will each continue to play important roles for the firm moving forward. I would like to thank Nick for his leadership of the UK S&C business over the last five years and also congratulate Andrew on his new responsibilities. I look forward to working with them both to build on the strong momentum we have in our UK S&C business and more broadly around the world. They are two of the very best in the business and we are lucky to have them.”
Nick Claydon said: “It’s been a privilege to lead the London office through a period of growth as we have transformed Teneo into a business where a combination of financial communications, political insight, reputation strategy and bold and creative campaigning is fused in our DNA. We have completed the successful integration of Tulchan, the combined teams are working well together, and the business has real momentum. I am looking forward to focusing on what I love most, partnering with Teneo clients around the globe to address some of their biggest challenges. No other firm offers the breadth or depth of services Teneo provides on an integrated basis and I am excited to take on this new challenge.”
Andrew Feldman said: “I am very much looking forward to leading Teneo’s UK S&C business. We have an exceptional team, with a diverse set of skills and perspectives, enabling us to offer valuable strategic communications advice to clients. We now have an exciting opportunity to accelerate the growth of the business from solid foundations.”
