Foreword

Disruption breeds opportunity – this is a resounding theme from Teneo’s annual CEO and Investor Outlook Survey. The survey captures the views of more than 260 global CEOs and institutional investors representing approximately $3.4 trillion USD of combined company and portfolio value. Whether addressing higher interest rates, war in the Middle East and Ukraine or volatility in the debt and equity markets, operating through disruption has become the new normal for global CEOs and business leaders.

Amidst the disruption, business leaders are signalling a readiness to stop simply reacting and to start capitalizing on opportunity. For instance, CEOs and investors are largely upbeat on the potential for an active M&A market in the new year, adoption of AI technologies and development of a new generation of corporate leadership.

Teneo is fortunate to advise many of the world’s leading CEOs and companies as they navigate this environment of uncertainty and rapid-fire change. We hope that this report provides helpful insights as you prepare for 2024.

Wishing you all the best in the new year.
