Cristean leads RCP's specialist advisory team. He began his career as an architect and has spent his professional life applying that perspective to complex property projects, leading significant work in Aotearoa New Zealand and abroad. He joined RCP in 2001 and led the opening of its Wellington office.

"I started my professional life as an architect and, much more than just learning how to design buildings, architecture is about looking at spaces, understanding their meaning to clients and their communities, and coming at a problem from different angles. It's about perspective."

That perspective underpins how he approaches advisory, and the client problems that rarely arrive neatly defined.

Advisory is about listening deeply, understanding a client's needs, understanding their context, and ultimately about solving problems.

For all his focus on solving problems, Cristean is clear that outcomes rest on people and relationships. "Alongside commercial acumen and industry knowledge, it is people and the quality of our relationships that truly deliver great outcomes for clients and communities. I want to invest in mentoring and developing the newer members of our RCP team, to pass on my knowledge to the next generation of industry problem-solvers."

"Advisory is about listening deeply, understanding a client's needs, understanding their context, and ultimately about solving problems."
