RIBA Royal Gold Medal–winning Ghanaian-British architect David Adjaye has announced a “fundamental change” in how his eponymous firm operates with the naming of three CEOs who will oversee each of Adaye Associates’ three studios in newly established sole executive leadership roles. Pascale Sablan will serve as CEO of Adjaye Associates’ New York studio while Lucy Tilley and Kofi Bio will run the London and Accra studios, respectively. All three of the firm’s newly named CEOs previously held associate principal titles. As for Adjaye, he will assume the role of executive chair and, per a statement release by the firm, continue to lead overall design direction as principal.
“Over the last six months I have been taking professional advice on how to best reflect the firm’s considerable evolution over the last five years,” said Adjaye in a statement. “Whilst I will continue to lead the design direction of my firm, it is now the right time to devolve the management of the studios. Kofi, Lucy, and Pascale are exceptional leaders whose diverse perspectives and capabilities will give us the platform to succeed in the next chapter.”
