NEW YORK, Oct. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Teneo, the global CEO advisory firm, today announced the appointment of Michael Wise, a 35-year capital markets veteran, as a Senior Managing Director.

Michael joins Teneo following senior leadership roles at JPMorgan, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. He most recently served as Vice Chairman of Equity Capital Markets at JPMorgan. Prior to that, he was Global Vice Chairman of Equity Capital Markets at Bank of America.

"Michael's expertise enhances our ability to apply our deep public markets experience to help pre-IPO companies navigate this critical stage and position themselves for long-term success."

Michael has guided clients through hundreds of equity offerings, from landmark IPOs to complex multi-security financings. He has advised CEOs, boards and management teams on capital raises to support company growth across sectors, including financial services, consumer and retail, energy, industrials and healthcare.

Teneo's Strategy and Communications business has advised on several landmark transactions in 2025, including CoreWeave's $1.6 billion IPO and pending $9 billion acquisition of Core Scientific; Circle's $1.2 billion IPO and $1.5 billion follow-on offering; NIQ's $1.06 billion IPO; and The Ether Machine's de-SPAC transaction with $1.5 billion in committed PIPE financing.
