Schuler Shook is pleased to announce a leadership transition many years in the making. Our Founders, Duane Schuler and Robert Shook, began a transition plan in 2016 to guide the firm’s leadership to its next generation, and that transition is now complete.
After beginning their consulting careers separately, Duane and Bob teamed up in 1986 to create Schuler Shook. Over the succeeding 35 years, Schuler Shook has become a world leader in Theatre Planning and Lighting Design. With over 55 staff members in our five US offices and in Melbourne, Australia, we serve a wide range of projects of all scales.
Bob notes “We could not possibly be more pleased to see the Schuler Shook leadership team performing at the highest level of design and firm management. We are confident that these nine partners will continue to raise the bar in every aspect of collaborative excellence.”
Duane adds “As we step back from our current roles, we are thrilled by the talents that the entire staff brings to Schuler Shook‘s long-standing reputation as creative and insightful partners in the design process. Bob and I are very excited about the future of the company.”
Duane and Bob remain engaged and involved, advising clients and the design staff at Schuler Shook. The nine partners directing the firm are building upon their inspired leadership.
