Woods Bagot Principal and Global Leader – Workplace Interiors, Amanda Stanaway, has joined the leadership team of the global architecture studio’s placemaking business, ERA-co, as Head of Global User Strategy starting July 1.
The appointment reflects the close relationship between the two businesses and is a key investment by ERA-co in its growing User Strategy practice.
Stanaway brings extensive experience and a global network of workplace contacts cultivated during her 17 years at Woods Bagot.
She has been instrumental in building the Woods Bagot workplace design business into a market leader throughout Australia, Asia, China and the United States.
Fundamental to Stanaway’s success is her ability to cultivate long-term client relationships, consistently delivering offices that people want to work in – crucial in the hybrid post-COVID world.
“This is a great opportunity at a key point in time,” says Stanaway.
“Workplace design and strategy has never been more dynamic as businesses consider how best to engage their workforce and get them back to the office while navigating the fact hybrid working is here to stay.”
Based in Sydney, Stanaway’s remit is to expand the connection between workplace strategy and fit-out solutions to enhance user experience, enabling firms to re-engage culturally with their workforce.
In her new role, Stanaway will remain involved with clients across both entities as the companies increasingly work together.
Her brief is to maintain current Woods Bagot relationships and expand upon them to create valuable placemaking partnerships with ERA-co.
She will work closely with ERA-co leadership, including current Global User Strategy director James Calder.
“I’m thrilled to lend my experience to ERA-co. I see it as a completely new type of consultancy – they see placemaking as more than a buzzword,” says Stanaway.
“With user strategy, urban strategy & planning, brand experience and productions under one roof, we can bring full-service placemaking to many of the architectural and development clients we’re serving at Woods Bagot.”
