Olly joins existing Group Board members Adrian Griffiths, Michael Cottam, Mikel Barriola, Jon Hale, Ruprecht Melder, Marcelina Zielinska, and Michael Swiszczowski. His appointment forms part of Chapman Taylor’s long-term strategy to develop the next generation of leadership and support the practice’s continued international growth and success.

Olly joined Chapman Taylor’s Bangkok studio in 2012 and quickly established himself as a key member of the team, working on a wide range of award-winning projects across Southeast Asia.

Drawing on his extensive international experience and understanding of different cultures and markets, he has led and contributed to a number of significant projects, including major mixed-use developments in Dubai, Madinah, Jeddah, Riyadh, and Abu Dhabi. In recognition of his achievements and leadership, he was promoted to Director in 2022.
