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.”

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.
