New York-based CEO advisory firm Teneo acquired Ridgeway Partners, a London-based executive search firm. Terms of the transaction were not announced.

Ridgeway’s specialties include executive committee roles in finance, IT, risk and HR across all sectors.

Ridgeway Managing Partner Sue O’Brien will continue to lead Ridgeway as part of Teneo. O’Brien’s new title is chairman of Ridgeway and she will report to Chris Wearing, chairman of Teneo International.

“Sue and her colleagues bring deep expertise in leadership talent strategy and have built long-term partnerships with their clients across many industries and geographies,” Wearing said. “Their strong history and track record on diversity is especially important to us and our clients.”

Ridgeway’s leadership will work closely with the CEO of Teneo UK, Nick Claydon.

Ridgeway was founded in 2004 with operations in the UK and US, but the UK team conducted a management buyout in January 2017. Teneo’s acquisition today does not apply to the US Ridgeway Partners business.
