Trailblazer in Architecture: Kimberly Nelson Montague

Kimberly Montague, a proud graduate of the University of Michigan – Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, embarked on her career in healthcare design at Albert Kahn Associates. Her passion for innovative, patient-centered design truly ignited globally while working as an architect for Planetree International, an international healthcare consulting firm.

There, she conducted over 400 design and organizational assessments, impacting nearly two million patients, caregivers, and families across the United States, The Netherlands, Brazil, and Japan. This commitment to patient-centered design was deeply personal, inspired by her mother's battle with cancer in the hospital.

Recently, Albert Kahn Associates has appointed Montague as its first female CEO. She becomes only the 12th CEO in the firm's storied nearly 130-year history, while also retaining her title as President. Montague's leadership is a beacon of change, heralding a new era for the iconic architectural, engineering, planning, design, and management firm.

Montague's stellar reputation extends across both domestic and international design industries, honed over a 30-year career that includes tenures at Albert Kahn Associates and Herman Miller. She is known for her dedication to research, design thinking, industry advocacy, prolific presentations, and writings.

“Innovation and collaboration are in the firm’s DNA. Our teams continually hone their craft to deliver extraordinary projects for a diverse range of clients. As a champion for mentorship and inclusivity, I am passionate about setting Kahn up for another 100 years of success,” explained Kimberly.

With Montague at the helm, the future of Albert Kahn Associates looks brighter than ever.
