Breathe gets some new wind in its sails as Nightingale’s current Head of Operations, Dan McKenna was recently tapped as the new CEO for the forward-thinking design firm.

Along with Breathe co-founder and partner Tamara Veltre, current CEO Jeremy McLeod has lived and dare we say, ‘breathed’ Nightingale for the past five years, advocating for a better, more sustainable and human-focused model of housing development and building the organisation to achieve it.

Now, with the Nightingale team steadily growing with the recent completion of Nightingale Anstey, Ballarat and the long-awaited Village, McLeod says it is time he handed over the CEO role, although he will still be present in the background at Nightingale as a board member.

While McKenna has been at Nightingale since the beginning, on the future of Nightingale, he says, “I want to keep the spirit of Nightingale as a grassroots organisation, while also ensuring it has the tools to grow its impact as it moves beyond Brunswick and fully into the world.”
