Last week, Teneo and @WEAdvisors celebrated four years of partnership at our annual fall reception in Washington, D.C., bringing together leadership, senior advisors, clients and friends of the firm for an evening of connection and conversation.
As part of the evening, guests also heard perspectives on the policy and geopolitical developments shaping CEO and board agendas ahead of the U.S. midterm elections — a timely backdrop to an event centered on strengthening relationships and celebrating the Teneo-WestExec partnership.
Thank you to everyone who joined us.

The Autumn Budget offers targeted relief, but it does little to change the UK’s underlying growth story.
Our latest analysis looks beyond the headline measures to assess what the Budget means for business investment, household finances and consumer spending. It also examines where the most important structural questions remain, from productivity and fiscal resilience to the uneven recovery in household financial headroom.

As board agendas expand and risks become more interconnected, the challenge for directors is increasingly not just what to oversee, but how to stay prepared for what comes next.
At the Ayala Group’s Integrated Corporate Governance, Risk Management and Sustainability Summit in the Philippines, Angela Campbell-Noë, Senior Managing Director and Chief Client Strategy Officer, Asia Pacific, shared perspectives on how boards can strengthen preparedness, build greater foresight into decision-making and ensure they have the judgment and resilience to navigate emerging risks and uncertainty.
Many of these themes are also explored in our recently published board of directors report, which examines how boards are adapting their operating models, capabilities and approach to risk as the demands on directors continue to evolve.

Teneo is pleased to have advised Mynt, the parent company of the group behind @gcashofficial, the Philippines’ number one super finance app, on its landmark IPO and listing on the Philippine Stock Exchange.

The transaction represents a significant milestone for Mynt and GCash, as well as an important moment for the Philippine and Southeast Asian capital markets. Congratulations to the entire Mynt team, as well as our Strategy & Communications team, led by Angela Campbell-Noë from Teneo’s Singapore office, on this historic milestone.

Albertans have given a clear answer on separation. But the referendum did not resolve the political and economic issues that brought Alberta to this point.
In a new article, our Canada team looks at what comes next for Alberta, including the province’s competitiveness and investment outlook, its relationship with Ottawa and the political questions that remain. For business, the vote removes an immediate source of uncertainty, but many of the issues behind the referendum are still unresolved.

Boards can't add a specialist for every new issue that reaches the boardroom.
Watch Teneo Vice Chair and Head of Governance and Sustainability Advisory Martha Carter discuss why boards are increasingly looking for “utility players” — directors who bring depth in a particular area, but also the judgment and range to contribute across the full board agenda.
As the demands on boards continue to expand, our latest Board of Directors report finds that the individual board seat is getting bigger, with directors expected to engage credibly across issues including technology, AI, geopolitics, supply chain and risk.

The UK remains an attractive destination for global capital, but the investment case is under pressure. Teneo’s latest Persuasion with Precision report finds a growing disconnect between what investment decision-makers say matters to them and what policymakers believe drives their decisions — with tax rises topping investors’ list of threats to UK investment.
Based on research with 100 senior investment decision-makers and 100 UK MPs, the report explores where perceptions diverge and what it will take to strengthen the UK’s investment proposition in an increasingly competitive global market.

The demands on boards are growing – but board size is not keeping pace.
Watch Senior Managing Director Amanda Grant break down one of the key findings from our board of directors report and what it means for directors across the U.S., UK and Canada.
As agendas expand and expectations rise, individual directors are being asked to absorb more of the workload and bring a broader range of expertise. Fewer directors are also serving on multiple boards than they did a decade ago.
