Gensler’s Co-CEOs

Collaborative leadership sets Gensler apart, enabling us to be our clients’ strategic partner worldwide and the innovator among design firms. Co-CEOs Diane Hoskins and Andy Cohen are exemplars of this leadership model. They form a collaborative team responsible for the day-to-day operations of Gensler’s global platform of over 7,000 people in 53 locations, working across more than 29 practice areas spanning the work, lifestyle, community, and health sectors. Guided by the visionary leadership of our co-CEOs, Gensler has extended its client base and geographic reach to become the world’s largest architecture firm, networked across the Americas, Europe, Greater China, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East with more than 4,000 clients in 140 countries.

Given the challenges facing clients of all scales in today’s evolving and complex marketplace, our co-CEOs champion new perspectives and game-changing project solutions — drawing on the firm’s unique knowledge of markets, industries, sustainable design principles, and design technology solutions. Sought out by CNN, The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, Fast Company, Harvard Business Review, and Fortune, among other prestigious publications, Diane and Andy emphasize clients’ potential to achieve significant value and meaningful transformation through the power of design in a changing world.

Working as an integrated team, they have made Gensler the first truly global design firm, widely admired for its acumen, collaborative spirit, and relentless focus on delivering innovative design solutions for clients.
