CallisonRTKL Welcomes Three Leaders in Technology, Research and Healthcare

SEATTLE, Wash. – January 10, 2019 – CallisonRTKL, the global architecture, design and planning firm, welcomes three new leaders in technology, research and healthcare. Ken Bayern, Sarah Wicker and Eurico Francisco are bringing their expertise to the firm as Vice Presidents in the Seattle, Chicago and Dallas offices.

Ken Bayern joined CRTKL in November to build the Global Technology Solutions group with the team.  He brings a national network of clients in almost all our practice areas; showing that technology is integral to nearly everything we do. He is a longtime champion for collaboration and based out of Seattle.

Sarah Wicker has returned to the firm and is now in the Chicago office. She will oversee the development and direction of our new firmwide research team. A great mentor, creator and strategist, Sarah and her eventual team will focus on advancing human-centered research and strategy processes– creating a platform for better design through relevant and impactful research.

Eurico Francisco is rejoining the Dallas Health Practice in January. Eurico brings a high level of design excellence, mentorship and client leadership to the practice. He connects to existing clients in Texas, Florida, California and Pennsylvania. He also ties to some of our most notable design portfolios– like the National AIA award-winning project Brook Army Medical Center.

“These are exciting times with lots of opportunities to influence design, technology, innovation and the impact we can have on the world,” says Kelly Farrell, CRTKL President and CEO. “We’ve worked diligently across offices to elevate the discourse around our talent, our clients and projects, our leadership, our strategy and needs as an organization and what we envision for CRTKL in the months and years ahead.”
