Global advisory and investing platform Consello, led by Co Tipperary man Declan Kelly, has continued its expansion with a minority stake in a UK based senior executive mentoring organisation.

The Mentor Hub, co-founded by prominent British business leader and Irish native Sue O'Brien, will partner with the New York City-headquartered Consello in delivering bespoke mentoring programmes to support senior executives and emerging C-suite leaders across Consello’s global client base.

Together, the firms said they will now aim to build and scale a global mentor offering to support boards and executive teams through growth, transformation and succession.

The announcement follows the acquisition in January by Consello of Morpheus Risk, a UK-based risk and threat assessment firm.

It also comes ahead of Consello officially launching its UK integrated advisory platform at an event in London later this week, gathering leaders from across the UK.

Speaking ahead of the launch, Consello founder, chairman and CEO Declan Kelly said that the UK is a key market for the company's global clients.

"Expanding our world-class dedicated advisory presence in London allows us to serve clients in the region in a more robust manner. Further establishing our footprint here strengthens our ability to deliver integrated advice locally while reinforcing the global connectivity that defines our firm," he said.

Kelly launched Consello, an advisory and investing platform with offices in New York, Miami, Atlanta, Dublin, Belfast, London, Abu Dhabi and Riyadh, in 2022.

Consello employs over 30 people today on the island of Ireland, where it has offices in Dublin, Belfast and the Mid-West.
