Managing Partner and board member of NBBJ
Robert Mankin isn’t the kind of architect who just sketches blueprints and moves on. As Managing Partner at NBBJ, one of the world’s leading architecture firms, he helps steer the company’s vision. His role is part designer, part strategist, and part mentor. He’s spent over 20 years shaping the firm’s work and its culture, proving himself as both a creative and a leader. Mankin has been behind the global headquarters for tech giants like Tencent and Samsung. He’s also had a hand in reshaping iconic sports venues, such as UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion, the University of Kentucky’s Rupp Arena, and even large-scale projects like the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center in China.
