Presidents

SAN FRANCISCO, March 12 /PRNewswire/ -- SB Architects is pleased to
announce the promotion of three key staff members to vice president and, for
the first time in the firm's history, a new chief financial officer. Scott
Boyle and Eric Nyhus in the firm's San Francisco office, and Jorey Friedman,
AIA, in the firm's Miami office, embody the talent and dedication of the
firm's second generation of leadership. In his key role as the firm's chief
financial officer, John Cisco will help to ensure a strong future for the
rapidly-growing practice.
The three new vice presidents share a high level of leadership,
professionalism and enthusiasm, and illustrate the firm's commitment to
expanding its leadership and capabilities from within. Ms. Friedman has over
20 years of experience, 14 of them in SB Architects' Miami office. Her
leadership capabilities enable her to forge strong project teams that work
together efficiently, and she leads the design of some of the firm's most
prominent resort projects, including new resorts in the Caribbean, Egypt and
India.
With 15 years of experience, Mr. Boyle brings a wealth of experience
across project types. His ability to create and maintain a strong vision
positions enables him to lead the design teams for some of the firm's most
extensive mixed-use resort projects, including the new Montage Royal Island
Resort in the Bahamas. His dedication to expanding and improving the practice
are invaluable.
Mr. Nyhus also brings to his role over 15 years of experience, as well as
boundless enthusiasm, design talent and strong management skills. He has
played key leadership roles on the design teams for Ritz-Carlton Kapalua and
Ritz-Carlton Rancho Mirage, two of the firm's most high-profile resort
renovation projects, as well as several new resorts in the Mediterranean.
Most recently a member of the executive management team for Auberge
Resorts, Mr. Cisco brings to his new role as chief financial officer over 20
years of experience overseeing the financial performance of numerous companies
in the resort and lifestyle industry. His vast experience in asset
development and growth strategies make him a perfect fit for this fast-growing
architectural practice.
SB Architects combines the experience of nearly a half-century of practice
with the energy and drive of a dynamic second generation of leadership.
Amidst an exciting era of change and growth, this venerable design firm has
seen the retirement of its founding partner, the emergence of a second
generation of partners, the birth of a new brand identity, the re-location of
its San Francisco practice to a new, expanded headquarters, and the
re-location of its Miami office to a larger space. Concurrently, it has over
doubled in size and billings, and has firmly established itself at the head of
the class in its two primary practice areas: hotels & resorts and urban
mixed-use projects. For the past two years, the firm has been listed among
both the fastest-growing companies in the San Francisco Bay Area and the
fastest-growing design firms in the United States.
SB Architects has built a long-standing reputation for excellence in the
planning and design of multi-family residential, mixed-use, hotel, resort, and
vacation ownership projects. The firm's portfolio of work includes projects
throughout the United States, in Mexico, South America, the Caribbean, the
Mediterranean, China, Indonesia, Egypt and the Middle East. With a combined
staff of 145 professionals in its two offices, SB Architects remains a
hands-on, design-oriented practice, well-known for site-sensitive,
contextually appropriate design. The firm has received nearly 200 awards for
design excellence.
