Teneo Launches Financial Advisory Business in Spain

Teneo, the global CEO advisory firm, today announced the expansion of its Financial Advisory business in Spain with the hiring of Javier Ibáñez and Francisco Alba to lead its new office in Madrid.

Teneo expects to make further hires in Spain in the coming months to grow its Financial Advisory presence alongside other service offerings. This expansion strategically aligns with the successful launch of Teneo’s Financial Advisory business in Latam in 2024, led by Juan José Perojo, and will enable seamless client delivery across both jurisdictions.

Javier Ibáñez, a leading restructuring professional with over 25 years of experience, joins Teneo as a Senior Managing Director. Javier spent most of his career at KPMG, including 10 years as a restructuring partner, and more recently led Kroll’s restructuring business in Spain.

Francisco Alba joins Javier at Teneo as a Managing Director. Francisco is also a highly experienced restructuring practitioner, having spent over 15 years at KMPG and Kroll. Additionally, he has M&A deal experience, having served as a Director at Borealis.

Daniel Butters, CEO of Teneo’s Global Financial Advisory business, said, “I am delighted to open Teneo’s office in Spain; it’s a very exciting milestone in the growth of our business. I warmly welcome Javier and Francisco to the team, both of whom bring significant restructuring experience and market connectivity. Along with the recent appointment of Juan José Perojo, this growth in our team represents an important step for Teneo as we build out our operations in Spain and Latin America, providing us with a presence in all major financial hubs around the world.”

Javier Ibanez, Senior Managing Director, Teneo Financial Advisory, said, “There is a huge opportunity for Teneo in Spain. The firm’s integrated consulting and advisory model is a truly unique offering for clients in the Spanish market. We plan to quickly build out services ranging from crisis and insolvency situations to fundraising and supporting growth opportunities. The development of the Latam – Spain corridor means that we can serve as the ideal partner for cross-border deals. We have ambitious plans to grow Teneo’s operations in Spain, including a number of additional hires planned over the coming weeks and months.”
