Wilson Associates interim Co-CEOs
Cheryl Neumann, COO, and Larry LeMaster, CFO have been named as interim Co-CEOs following the departure of CEO Olivier Chavy, who led the 45-year-old global interior architecture firm through changes in ownership and rebranding.
Chavy joined Wilson Associates to shepherd the firm’s evolution from a single owner and iconic founder to a global network of renowned designers. Now he returns to the hotelier world, where he will contribute his strengths of vision, growth and transformation to Movenpick.
“The last 3 years have been an amazing journey, and I am proud every day to work with such a talented and creative team,” Chavy comments.
“I am honoured to be part of the Wilson family, and am so proud of all we have accomplished together. I’m confident in the strength of the firm and in the successful continuation of the vision we created.”
Neumann says: “We thank Olivier for ushering Wilson Associates from the foundation years through this transitional period and into the new phase of the firm.”
“He has been instrumental in redefining the identity and vision for this indelible legacy. Our global team in eight offices around the world looks forward to an exciting new era and creating new legacies in design.”
Wilson Associates employs over 300 design professionals throughout eight global offices in Abu Dhabi, Dallas (Headquarters), Dubai, Los Angeles, New York, Paris (Atelier), Shanghai and Singapore.
