Teneo Appoints David Bishop as a Managing Director
Teneo, the global CEO advisory firm, today announced the appointment of David Bishop as a Managing Director in the firm’s Strategy and Communications business in Dubai.
David focuses on government communications in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. He has spent over 10 years in the Middle East building and leading communications teams and advising senior government leaders.
Before joining Teneo, David spent four years as a Partner at Consulum, a strategic advisory firm focused on governments. During his time with the company, David advised leaders across Saudi Arabia, including government ministers, government officials and senior business leaders. Prior to Consulum, David was Director of Communications at Expo 2020 Dubai, leading the delivery of a long-term communications strategy for the event, building Expo’s communications function, supporting the development of an international brand with engaging communications and content, as well as enhancing the UAE’s international reputation and national brand.
Prior to joining Expo 2020 Dubai, David was head of Strategy at VisitBritain, the UK’s national tourism agency. He authored the Britain Tourism Strategy, published in early 2013, which sets out a bold target of attracting 40 million overseas visitors a year through a combination of marketing, product development, targeting a balanced portfolio of overseas markets and addressing access issues such as aviation capacity and visas. Before VisitBritain, David worked in the aviation and maritime sectors in policy roles.
“David brings considerable and highly relevant advisory expertise to the Teneo regional team and to our clients who continue to seek more sophisticated communications solutions both domestically and internationally. He joins a fast-growing, integrated and multi-disciplinary team of over 130 professionals across our offices in Riyadh, Doha, Dubai and Abu Dhabi,” said Nicholas McDonagh, Senior Managing Director and Head of Teneo Middle East.
David Bishop said, “This region is right at the heart of global political and economic changes. Teneo’s unique integrated offering across Strategy & Communications, Financial Advisory and Management Consulting, coupled with our global network, allow us to offer government and private sector leaders advice and support that they simply can’t get anywhere else.”
