Craig brings financial engineering rigour to some of New Zealand's most complex community housing challenges, with a clear-eyed view of what makes a project viable beyond the numbers.
As a Financial Analyst and Development Viability Specialist, he works with mission-led landowners and for-purpose delivery partners across Aotearoa, navigating everything from first-stage feasibility to funding strategy and board-level reporting.
His background in Financial Engineering, combined with accreditation in Social Return on Investment, means he builds financial models that hold up to scrutiny while keeping sight of what the housing is actually for. That combination of technical depth and genuine understanding of social outcomes is what partners like the Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity, Visionwest, and the New Zealand Housing Foundation rely on.
His work spans detailed development feasibility and business case preparation, housing needs and market demand analysis, funding and partnership structuring, and cashflow and sensitivity modelling for residential and mixed-tenure projects. He has a strong track record supporting IRRS funding applications, where Kāinga Maha clients have seen consistently high success rates.
When he's not deep in a model, you'll find Craig out on the hills with his dogs or on the mat at the dojo.
