Teneo names Paul Taylor as Leader of its Forensic practice in Australia

Teneo has hired Paul Taylor as a Senior Managing Director and Lead of its Forensic practice in Australia.

Taylor spent the past eleven years at Deloitte, including the last eight as a Partner. At the Big Four firm, he led the national Forensic Discovery and Data Management team. Earlier in his career, he held roles at Consilio in Hong Kong and the US, and at First Advantage in the US, having kicked off his career in the UK’s public sector.

Throughout his 30-year career, Taylor has gained extensive international experience in digital forensics and cybercrime investigations, advising on complex internal investigations, data security breaches, cyber incident response, litigation and regulatory matters.

Based in Sydney, Taylor will lead Teneo’s Forensic practice in Australia, working closely with colleagues across the firm’s global platform to support clients navigating complex investigations, cyber incidents, disputes, litigation and regulatory matters. He will also collaborate with Teneo’s Forensic leadership teams across Asia Pacific and globally.

“Paul brings exceptional depth of expertise and a truly international perspective to our Forensic practice,” said Amanda Rigby, Senior Managing Director and Global Forensic Leader. “His experience and reputation as a trusted adviser on some of the most complex digital forensic and cyber matters will be a significant asset to our clients and colleagues. We look forward to working with him as we continue to grow our forensic capabilities globally.”

Richard Williams, Senior Managing Director and Head of Forensic for APAC, added: “I am thrilled to welcome Paul to Teneo to lead our Forensic team in Australia. His international expertise and recognition across the UK, US and APAC embody the essence of our burgeoning global business, providing high-quality transparent forensic solutions to our clients anywhere in the world.”

Headquartered in the US, Teneo has more than 1,800 employees located in 50+ offices around the world. The firm’s Australian business offers the firm’s full suite of services – management consulting, people and risk advisory, communications and financial advisory – and recently bolstered its ranks with the acquisition of PwC’s restructuring arms in Australia and New Zealand.

“I am excited to join Teneo’s team and lead the growth of its Forensic practice in Australia at a time when organisations are facing increasingly complex regulatory, financial and operational challenges,” said Taylor. “Teneo’s plans for growth in APAC are exciting and I am thrilled to be part of that journey, helping our clients navigate risk, resolve disputes and create lasting value.”
