Baldasso Cortese have announced a suite of new promotions, bolstering both their Melbourne and Geelong outposts with a number of experienced personnel.

Neil Christensen has taken on the role of Practice Manager, with his time at the practice highly regarded by the executive team. He will move into a Finance and Operations role, tasked with nurturing the practice through its next phase, while also working across a number of sectors including Health, Aged Care and Seniors Living.

Tim Pyke, the practice’s new Design Leader, will also work in a leadership role, developing design excellence across an array of markets.

Baldasso Cortese General Manager, Mark Eden, believes the changes made will assist in laying the groundwork for the practice’s future.

“The restructuring and these leadership announcements are to strengthen our operations, and deliver an excellent outcome for every project,” he says.

A number of new Principals have been instated, including Education expert Ben Percy, mixed-use luminary Elvin Chatergon and Iliya Ilievski, tasked with growing the Geelong office.

Joel Harbour will maintain and develop the practice’s presence in the regions, while Romeo Temelkovski will head up the studio’s retail output. Baldasso Cortese says it is delighted to additionally welcome back Senior Project Architect Songyun Sui back from maternity leave.

Steven Cortese says he is excited by the future direction of the practice, which will be overseen by the promotions made in the twilight of 2023.

“We congratulate these team members on their promotions and look forward to working with them to deliver fantastic design outcomes for our clients,” he says.

Founder Anthony Baldasso echoes Cortese’s sentiments.

“These announcements acknowledge the strengths and passions of each individual and will further strengthen our commitment to bringing the best service to our clients.”
