1508 has announced the appointment of Scott Miller as Regional Director of North America.

Miller joins the company from AvroKO, where he held the position of Global Director of Development since 2016. With a wealth of experience in the hospitality design industry, he brings a fresh and informed perspective to 1508’s growing presence in North America.

“Having long admired the quality and creativity of 1508’s projects I am truly honoured to join the firm and lead the talented teams in New York, Miami and Los Angeles,” says Miller. “While 1508 may currently be somewhat under the radar in the US, the firm is held in high regard internationally and I believe our active projects with partners such as the Cipriani family, Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental and SHVO, and the global lens with which we’re designing them, sets the tone for the calibre of work we’re capable of and I’m excited to showcase our capabilities to a new audience here domestically.”

Hamish Brown, Partner and board member of 1508 comments: “We are delighted to announce the appointment of Scott as our newest addition to the team in America. With his proven expertise and passion for driving growth, we are excited to embark on this journey together, drawing on his knowledge and experience during the next phase of 1508’s journey. Scott’s appointment marks an exciting phase for 1508 as we continue to strengthen our foothold in the US market. His proven track record and strategic vision make him an ideal fit for our expanding US operations.”
