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.
