Tamsie Thomson
The RIAS has appointed Tamsie Thomson as its new chief executive almost four years after Neil Baxter left under a cloud.
Thomson will take up her new role in July after stepping down as a managing director at New London Architecture. She is also a former director of the London Festival of Architecture and lecturer at Brighton School of Architecture.
Her appointment signals a new era for the incorporation which represents 5,100 Scottish architects and has endured some rocky years.
It also means both the organisation’s figureheads will be women.
Christina Gaiger was elected president last summer, the youngest in its history and only the second female. She replaced Robin Webster who was one of the founding members of A New Chapter, a reforming movement which led to Baxter’s resignation as secretary (the same role as chief executive) over questions of transparency and governance.
