The following is an open letter from Moody Nolan departing CEO Curtis J. Moody, FAIA, announcing his son Jonathan Moody as the new CEO.

Today is an exciting day for me and for Moody Nolan, as we announce the next generation of leadership at our firm. Please join me in welcoming Jonathan Moody as our new Chief Executive Officer.

Jonathan has served as president since 2016, first joining Moody Nolan as a senior associate in 2011. This move will allow me to transition to chairman, where I will continue to have a hands-on, day-to-day role in the life of the firm. Jonathan and I will assume our new roles on the first of the new year.

To assist Jonathan’s leadership, we have created a new four-member Executive Team to provide a holistic approach to the care and growth of the 12 Moody Nolan offices around the country. The Team also provides a formal structure to facilitate strategic interaction among the firm’s leadership. Executive Team members are:

  • Eileen Goodman, Partner and Director of Interior Design now adds Executive Vice President to her title.
  • Brian Tibbs, Partner and Director of Nashville Operations now adds Managing Partner to his title.
  • David King, Partner and Chief Financial Officer will remain in this position.
  • Allen Schaffer, Principal and Director of Sustainable Design, will now divide his time between Sustainable design and his new role of Chief Operating Officer.

New perspectives provide new opportunities for innovation, impact and continued growth. While our vision and commitment to our clients will not change, I am fully confident that our new leadership team will provide a personal touch that will lead Moody Nolan to new heights in the years to come.

Please join me in congratulating Jonathan and members of the Executive Team!

Sincerely, Curtis J. Moody, FAIA
