Our Team
Macroplan is led by its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Brian Haratsis, and a highly skilled Senior Leadership Team who navigate the work we do for our Australian and International clients.
As a team, we are genuinely committed to delivering precise solutions tailored to individual needs. We have found that when you put a unique data set in front of people who are encouraged to actually think about what they’re doing, it’s a combination that’s going to unearth new ideas, a different way to think and maybe even some provocative outcomes.
Our leadership team’s depth of experience, combined with the unique talents and energy of our dedicated economists, planners and spatial analysts drives a truly collaborative and creative culture.
