Steve Mac

Let’s be real: when the stakes are high, you don’t need fluff — you need someone who gets the game and knows how to win it. That’s Steve Mac.

For decades, Steve’s been the go-to in New Zealand when things get complex, political, or flat-out messy in the world of corporate communications and public affairs. He’s not just respected — he’s trusted, battle-tested, and brutally effective. His mix of high energy, no-BS transparency, and deep strategic chops makes him the one you want in the room when reputation’s on the line.

Steve doesn’t just ‘do comms.’ He reads the market like a trader and sees reputational risk before it shows up on your board’s radar. He’s built to navigate pressure, align fast with business objectives, and cut through corporate noise with clarity and precision.

From national fibre rollouts and electricity sector shakeups, to leading internal comms across massive orgs and repping SMEs with heart — Steve’s been in the trenches. He’s worked with giants like Vector, ETNZ, Northpower, and frontline community legends like the Northland Rescue Helicopter. He’s just as comfortable in the C-suite as he is on the ground with Māori enterprise leaders or AgTech disruptors.

As Head of Strategy at Gattaca, Steve leads a killer team of communicators — coaching, guiding, and helping brands show up with credibility, speed, and impact. Whether it’s media training, technical writing, high-stakes issues management, or building out end-to-end content systems, Steve gets results. Fast.

If reputation is your currency, Steve Mac is the guy you bring in to protect and grow it. No ego. Just outcomes.
