DLR Group Hires New Higher Education Business Development Leader

Integrated design firm DLR Group recently announced that it has named a new Higher Education Business Development Leader who will serve out of the firm’s New York studio, according to a news release. Sadie Maney has more than ten years of industry experience and will take responsibility for driving the firm’s client relationships and strategic growth across higher-education institutions in the northeast.

“Maney comes to DLR Group with a wide breadth of knowledge in the world of higher education,” said Stu Rothenberger, Senior Principal and Global Higher Education Leader. “She’s a proven leader in maintaining positive and professional relationships with clients, and we look forward to seeing our portfolio grow under Maney’s careful stewardship.”

Her previous experience includes driving organizations through leadership changes, streamlining marketing and business development processes, and expanding businesses into new regions and verticals. She’s the founder of Made Business, a business development and marketing firm. In her new role, she’ll partner with the firm’s Northeast Higher Education Leader, Kaveri Singh, to expand the firm’s growth in that region.

“I love the investigative aspect of learning and understanding the needs that campuses have right now,” said Maney. “As an integrated design firm with a diverse portfolio, DLR Group provides me with opportunities to engage with campus leaders for big-picture master planning to fine details of new design.”
