A small practice, deeply involved.
O’D&Co is a collaborative practice led by Johny O’Donnell, working with clients & communities across Aotearoa.
Johny O’Donnell is a strategist, facilitator and creative producer whose work sits at the intersection of people, place, and economic development.
His work focuses on helping organisations, communities and partnerships navigate complexity, build alignment and move ambitious projects forward. Over the past decade, he has worked across regional development, infrastructure, tourism, arts and culture, economic development, placemaking, environmental initiatives and iwi partnerships — often in environments where long-term thinking, strong relationships and public trust are critical.
At the heart of Johny’s practice is a belief that the strongest outcomes come from genuine collaboration — where people feel part of the process, connected to the purpose, and invested in the future being shaped together.
