New roles allow HOK’s Healthcare practice to better support the firm’s design teams, projects and clients.
HOK’s Healthcare business unit is adopting a new regional structure. Effective this month, Mitchell Collin is joining Amine Khemakhem and Paul Strohm as Directors of Healthcare. Each will have a geographical focus:
- Amine Khemakhem – West Coast, Asia and the Middle East
- Mitchell Collin – Southeast
- Paul Strohm – Midwest
The regionally distributed leadership structure will make it easier to build project teams from across the firm and support regional Healthcare leaders in business development, strategy and thought leadership. It also allows firmwide leaders to mentor staff and understand unique regional healthcare approaches to better serve clients.
Additional Healthcare promotions in the regional HOK studios include:
- Laura Poltronieri, new Regional Leader of Healthcare for the Northeast
- Karen Carvalho, Healthcare Practice Leader for Florida
- Kathleen Schwarz new Director of Healthcare Consulting
The new regional leaders will join Belinda Young, who was promoted last year to Regional Leader of Healthcare for Northern California and the Pacific Northwest.
“These changes will position us to support our people as designers and leaders,” said Chief Strategy Officer Riccardo Mascia. “Most importantly, they will allow us to continue to grow to better meet the diverse challenges of our clients and their patients.”
