After an incredible 17-year journey with Macro, we bid a warm farewell to Operations Director David Craig, whose contributions have left an indelible mark on our business and culture.

David joined Macro as part of a financial services client contract in 2008 when it was just the UK sites. Over the years, he played a pivotal role in its global expansion across the UK, Europe, and beyond. His leadership helped drive the contract’s success, making it one of the strongest and most respected partnerships within the company.

In 2009, David was instrumental in expanding the client globally, further solidifying Macro’s international footprint. Recognising the opportunities in the Americas, he took on the challenge in 2015, relocating his family to Atlanta to support business development. His efforts in Houston, alongside the growth of key accounts and other major partnerships, have been nothing short of transformative.

When we caught up with David, he said “A special mention goes to the financial services client team, whose outstanding work has set the benchmark for excellence within Macro. Their dedication and performance continue to be the standard by which we measure success across the business – it’s been a pleasure to work alongside them.”

Beyond his professional achievements, David has embraced the personal journey that came with relocating his family to the U.S. His daughter’s marriage to a local American and subsequent citizenship, along with his son’s graduation in the U.S., are milestones that reflect the deep connection he has built in his new home.

David went on to say, “Special thanks to all the leadership team members for their mentoring and support along the way”.

Ross Abbate, CEO says “While we will miss his presence at Macro, we celebrate his achievements and wish him all the best in this next chapter. Thank you, David for 17 years of delivering excellence, and here’s to the legacy you leave behind”.
