The board of Architecture Media, through its chairman Gavan Ranger, have announced the appointment of Jacinta Reedy to the newly created position of chief executive officer. She will take up the role on 1 February.
Ms Reedy has been with Architecture Media for more than 15 years and has worked across most aspects of the business. Highly regarded by staff and well respected by external stakeholders, she has a well-grounded understanding of the opportunities and challenges facing the design media industry and the audience it serves.
After more than 33 years as managing director, Ian Close is stepping back from hands-on management of the company he created together with the Australian Institute of Architects in 1987. He will remain on the board as director and company secretary.
“With Jacinta leading the business, I know I can step back with confidence and look forward to exciting future developments,” he said.
