Ryan Teece

Ryan Teece is a creative force with a knack for dreaming up whip-smart, fun, and fresh ideas. Growing up on a farm, he began his professional career riding horses around the world, going on to win multiple equestrian events both here and across the ditch.

In 2017, Ryan met his now-husband, TV and radio personality Matty McLean, and swapped farm life for the city—where he quickly made a name for himself in real estate. Now Sales Director at Whitefox Auckland, Ryan has carved out an incredibly successful career built on sharp ideas, bold campaigns, and a deep understanding of what connects with people. In 2021, he was awarded Ray White’s Brand Champion of the Year for his excellence in marketing.

Ryan has an uncanny ability to convey a message—be it an idea, a brand, or a story—with style and creativity. His love of horses remains, and he was proudly named an ambassador for Auckland Thoroughbred Racing. He regularly MCs events for the organisation and fronts some of the biggest race days at Ellerslie.

In his spare time, Ryan is an avid swimmer, having competed in numerous Ocean Swim Series events. He loves a competitive board game night, spending time with friends, and travelling the world.

Ryan lives in Auckland with his husband Matty and their miniature schnauzer, Otis.
