Mike Munro
Senior Consultant
Mike Munro’s background is in journalism, political management, media communications, and corporate affairs.
Eighteen months as Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s Chief of Staff, nine years as Chief Press Secretary to former Prime Minister Helen Clark, 10 years in the parliamentary press gallery and nearly three years as Treasury’s director of communications has given him a deep understanding of the rhythms of Wellington. He has lived in the city for 35 years and has worked for most of that time inside the political beltway.
Like Neale, Mike was on the Labour negotiation team during the coalition talks with New Zealand First and the Greens after the 2017 election.
Mike also spent four years as head of corporate affairs for Wellington-based Todd Corporation.
He has his own consultancy, Munro Church Communications Ltd, which specialises in government relations, strategic media advice and communications and issues management. Mike is working as an independent contractor with Capital.
