Paul Jacob will be the Kansas City studio’s managing principal.
HOK has announced leadership changes in its Kansas City studio. Paul Jacob, AIA, LEED AP, had been a senior leader in HOK’s St. Louis studio and brings four decades of industry experience. Before joining HOK, he was a principal and co-owner of a mid-size architecture firm and vice president of a construction management and real estate development company. This diverse background enables Jacob to unite teams by emphasizing shared purpose and common understanding among owners, designers and constructors to achieve successful outcomes on complex projects. He worked closely with the Kansas City studio on projects including St. Louis CITY SC’s CITYPARK stadium and training facility, for which he was the executive project manager.
“This transition will enable us to better serve our clients and highlights the evolution and growth possible at HOK,” said Eli Hoisington, AIA, LEED AP, HOK’s co-CEO. “We are confident that Paul will expand and diversify the Kansas City practice, leveraging his unique background to serve clients and our internal teams.”
Energizer Park was previously known as CITYPARK.
