Teneo, the global CEO advisory firm, today announced the appointments of Frances Fitzgerald and Arnaud Danjean as Senior Advisors. These strategic appointments significantly enhance Teneo’s capabilities in advising clients on geopolitical, regulatory, and policy issues across Europe.
Frances Fitzgerald, the former Deputy Prime Minister of Ireland and most recently a Member of the European Parliament (MEP), brings over three decades of leadership in both Irish and EU institutions. Her political career includes senior cabinet positions as Minister for Justice and Equality, Minister for Business and Minister for Children and Youth Affairs.

I look forward to bringing my experience in EU and Irish politics to help clients navigate this environment and contribute to Teneo’s expanding presence in Europe.”
Arnaud Danjean joins Teneo following a distinguished career in diplomacy and European politics. A former Member of the European Parliament for over a decade, he chaired the Subcommittee on Security and Defence and then served as Special Advisor to former French Prime Minister Michel Barnier. Danjean also brings extensive field and institutional experience from his earlier roles in the French Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defence.
“Joining Teneo as a Senior Advisor is a great opportunity to leverage my experience in supporting senior leaders as they navigate today’s complex and shifting global landscape,” said Arnaud Danjean. “In a time of heightened geopolitical challenges, I look forward to working with Teneo’s teams and clients to provide strategic insight and perspective.”
Welcoming the appointments, Philippe Blanchard, President of Teneo Europe, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Frances and Arnaud to our growing European advisory team. Frances’s deep institutional knowledge of EU and Irish politics and Arnaud’s unique combination of on-the-ground diplomatic experience and strategic security insight will be invaluable to our clients.
