Following record growth, Populous staff promotions include Bruce Miller to Holdings Board

Topping off the firm’s best-ever year of business in 2017, Populous recently appointed a significant number of staff members to Principal and Senior Principal status. The firm has also recognized the outstanding commitment to excellence of many more staff, and has added Senior Principal Bruce Miller to its global Holdings Board.

“This record year of business allows us to continue investing in our people and our design innovations. We now have almost 600 people on our team, and we are continuing to grow,” Jerry Anderson, Chairman of Populous’ global Holdings Board. “We are now up to 15 offices, including our most recent opening in Tokyo, and we are diversifying our services to meet the needs of our clients. It’s an exciting time for Populous.”

The firm experienced a 15 percent increase in staffing for 2017 and expects to grow by another 15 percent in 2018. Populous will finish 2017 with a net revenue of $113 million, the highest in the firm’s 34-year history.
