Travis KalanickIreland-born Declan Kelly, former Financial Dynamics CEO, FTI Consulting executive VP, US Economic Envoy to Northern Ireland and Hillary Clinton confidante, co-founded Teneo with Doug Band, ex-counselor to President Clinton and former chief fundraiser for the Clinton Global Initiative.
They have built an advisory panel of luminaries including Jim Hoge, ex-New York Daily News publisher and editor of Foreign Affairs; Brian Mulroney, former Canadian prime minister; Harvey Pitt, ex-Securities and Exchange Commission chief; Raymond Odierno, retired US Army general; George Mitchell, former US Senator from Maine, and Ursula Burns, ex-Xerox chief.
