Teneo Appoints Industry Giant Andreas Scriven : Here’s What It Means For The Future

Teneo, the global CEO advisory firm, has appointed Andreas Scriven as Senior Managing Director to bolster its Management Consulting division. Scriven, who brings over two decades of experience in strategy consulting, will play a crucial role in enhancing Teneo’s strategic advisory services worldwide, particularly in the hospitality and leisure sectors. His appointment, announced on July 1, 2025, signals Teneo’s commitment to delivering world-class advisory support to senior executives navigating a rapidly evolving business environment.

Scriven, London-based, will head Teneo’s management consulting offering, comprising strategic advisory, merger and acquisitions (M&A), work on transformation, and entry strategies. Scriven’s deep experience and expertise in advising CEOs, boards, and C-level leaders make him an important member of the firm as it seeks to help its clients react to rapidly changing developments in their industries.

Scriven joins Teneo after a storied career at Deloitte, as Partner and Lead of Hospitality & Leisure. While at Deloitte, Scriven advised on broad-based transformation projects across Europe and was particularly proactive across the hospitality and leisure spaces. His work on M&A, growth strategy, and commercial due diligence has enabled him to become a widely respected industry leader.

Teneo’s Global Presence and Scriven’s Strategic Value
Teneo, with a client base exceeding 1,600 globally and a significant percentage of Fortune 100 and FTSE 100 companies, is accountable for offering integrated services in strategy, communications, financial advisory, risk advisory, and people advisory. The firm is deeply interested in helping its clients overcome complex problems in a variety of sectors, including hospitality and real estate, to technology and healthcare.

Scriven’s recruitment is part of a broader plan by Teneo to meet demand by multinationals for high-level, pragmatic strategic advice.

Scriven will aid the firm by offering advice on strategic positioning, merger and acquisition potential, market entry, and transformation work, all spaces in which he has demonstrated significant leadership.

The company’s focus on real estate and hotels is especially timely due to the forecasted recovery of the world travel and tourism sector.

Scriven’s experience will benefit in guiding Teneo’s clients through this period of growth and transition.
