“ILLUMINATE” BLACK HISTORY MONTH

Kevin G. Montgomery
O’Brien Atkins

I joined O’Brien Atkins Associates (OBA) December 5, 1988, after a nine-and-a-half-year tenure at I.M. Pei and Partners. I was named Principal at OBA in 1997 and have served in multiple leadership roles in the firm, prior to becoming CEO. In this role, my colleagues and I have collaborated with our clients and users to provide projects that have benefited the communities they serve.

Asya Shine
Architectural Designer

As an emerging architectural designer navigating the professional landscape of the Triangle area, my experience has been both inspiring and challenging. Working primarily in the life sciences and biotechnology sector, I am often one of the only women and person of color in the room. This reality has underscored the critical importance of representation and the need for intentional support networks to foster growth and retention.
