TORONTO and OTTAWA, ON and CALGARY, AB , Nov. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Teneo, the global CEO advisory firm, today announced the appointments of Ms. Martha Hall Findlay and Mr. Simon Kennedy as Senior Advisors. In their roles, Ms. Hall Findlay and Mr. Kennedy will become part of a network of former political leaders, senior policymakers and corporate executives offering strategic counsel to business leaders across the globe.

Ms. Hall Findlay is one of Canada's most respected voices on business, energy and economic competitiveness, and brings decades of senior leadership experience across corporate law, business and public policy. She is the former Chief Sustainability and Climate Officer at Suncor Energy and the former CEO of the Canada West Foundation, a major Canadian think tank.

A former Member of Parliament and federal leadership candidate, Ms. Hall Findlay has been a strong advocate for pragmatic approaches to public, business and energy policy. She will use her deep understanding of governance and business strategy to help advance Teneo's growing presence in Western Canada, where the firm advises clients across a number of sectors, including energy, infrastructure and natural resources.

Over more than three decades in the federal public service, Mr. Kennedy held numerous senior leadership roles, including Deputy Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED), Deputy Minister of Health and Deputy Minister of International Trade. He also served as Canada's G20 Sherpa.

Mr. Kennedy led major national initiatives spanning industrial strategy, health and trade policy, and played a central role in mobilizing Canada's pandemic response. In the International Trade portfolio, he was responsible for Canada's global trade negotiations and export promotion efforts, working closely with partners such as Export Development Canada on trade finance and investment frameworks.

Mr. Kennedy will help guide the continued growth of Teneo's government affairs and foreign investment advisory practice, supporting clients as they navigate increasingly complex regulatory and policy environments.
