What do you do now and what are you planning for the future? I was recently promoted to director of operations for Mancini Duffy, a New York City-based architecture firm. The firm is 100 years old, but has the heart, energy and vision of a start-up. I’m really excited to see how our firm evolves as it reimagines itself under our firm president Christian Giordano.
