Mike Morrison and Charles Thresh have joined Teneo following the global CEO advisory firm’s acquisition of KPMG's restructuring business in Bermuda.

Morrison, who joins as co-chair, international financial centres, is the former CEO of KPMG in Bermuda.

The move by Morrison was part of the transaction, Teneo said.

Teneo said that Morrison had almost 25 years of experience in Bermuda and brought a wealth of client relationships and experience to expand its presence in the market.
