About Us

At McCallum&Co, we are a human-centred, senior consultancy based in Aotearoa New Zealand, working across financial services, government, technology, and social innovation.

 

Our mission is simple: to help organisations build strategies, systems and solutions that are fairer, safer, and more responsive — for the people they serve.

 

We bring clarity to complexity, grounding strategic advice in real-world context and meaningful partnership. Our work supports organisations to deliver responsibly: to do good, reduce harm, and design for impact — not just compliance.

 

We believe that when our clients succeed, their customers, communities, and stakeholders succeed too.

​

Our consultancy was founded by Emilie McCallum, a trusted advisor with over 20 years' experience across New Zealand, Australia, Europe, and the UK. Emilie brings deep expertise in governance, regulation, strategy, risk, conduct, and operational uplift, alongside a strong focus on inclusion, ethics, and public value.

​

What sets us apart is how we work. We:

• Listen deeply

• Act with integrity

• Prioritise people and relationships

• Design for both the system and the individual experience

• Genuinely care about outcomes, not just outputs

 

We build trusted partnerships across sectors because we’re in it for the right reasons: we want people to be safe, respected, and well served — and we want the ecosystems around them to make that possible.
