HOK announce new president to develop global firm
Architect Carl Galioto, the managing principal of HOK’s New York and Philadelphia offices, has been named the practice’s new president.
Galioto, who also serves on HOK’s board of directors and leads its technical board, will now work directly with HOK chair and CEO Bill Hellmuth, himself promoted last year, to lead the global design, architecture, engineering and planning firm.
“Carl is extremely well-qualified to assume this position,” said Hellmuth. “In addition to overseeing the significant growth of our practice in the northeastern US, he has led HOK’s buildingSMART virtual design programme to improve how our buildings are conceived, designed, fabricated and built.
“I look forward to continuing to collaborate with him and the rest of our senior leadership team to serve our clients, employees and communities.”
Galioto commented: “I joined HOK in 2009 to be part of a design firm whose core values of sustainable design and focus on human well-being are those that I share. Our teams create designs that benefit people’s quality of life: new workplaces, research facilities, airports and transportation terminals, retail centres, hotels, apartments, places of worship, hospitals, museums, civic centres, sports venues and parks – all the building blocks of society.
“I’m honoured to take on this new role and to help direct our firm’s future.”
The architect is a fellow in the American Institute of Architects and serves on the boards of the New York Building Congress and the ACE Mentor program.
HOK have 23 offices worldwide. Their recent and forthcoming sport and leisure projects include the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Rogers Place in Edmonton, the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta and the Paulau Blaugrana multi-sports arena for Barcelona FC.
