Today on Obsessed Show, I’m excited to chat with the CEO and Co-owner of Mancini Duffy, Bill Mandara, Jr, AIA. If that firm sounds familiar, it’s probably because we interviewed the other co-owner and “anti-architect” Christian Giordano &amp; Jessica Mann Amato. I’m excited to learn more about Bill’s role in the firm, a massive project they’re working on in the heart of Times Square, and his music. So without further ado, please enjoy this conversation with Bill Mandara Jr., AIA.

Mancini Duffy

Culture Driven Vision with CEO of Mancini DuffyWilliam Mandara Jr., AIA, is the chief executive officer and co-owner of Mancini Duffy, a national design firm with a 100+-year-old history and tech-forward approach based in New York City. Bill comes from a family in the business: his father and grandfather were general contractors. He got the most thankless tasks during his teenage summers at his father’s job sites. In retrospect, it was a great way to instill understanding and respect for the profession. It was also a not-so-subtle hint from his father that he should be thinking about architecture school instead.He had been at TSC Design for five years when Mancini Duffy purchased the firm’s assets in 2011, at which point he was named a Senior Associate. He was later named a principal in 2014, became co-owner of the firm in 2017, and was named chief executive officer in 2018.Throughout his career, Bill’s believed in having consistency of vision and values: that we should never put ourselves or our vision ahead of the client’s. This consistency lets us respond to our clients quickly, with clarity and authority.This week on EntreArchitect Podcast, Culture Driven Vision with CEO of Mancini Duffy with Bill Mandara.Connect with Bill online at Mancini Duffy, and find him on LinkedIn.Referenced in this EpisodeEA420: Christian Giordano – Reinventing a 100 Year Old Architecture Firm Through TechnologyEA394: Bolanle Williams-Olley – How To Manage Cash FlowPlease visit Our Platform SponsorsDetailed is an original podcast by ARCAT that features architects, engineers, builders, and manufacturers who share their insight and expertise as they highlight some of the most complex, interesting, and oddest building conditions that they have encountered… and the ingenuity it took to solve them.

EA479: Bill Mandara - Culture Driven Vision with CEO of Mancini Duffy

Scott Harrell

Jessica Mann-Amato

This episode is a bit different from the normal format at The Anti-Architect Podcast. Normally, the podcast takes a critical look at how architects work with their clients and, in turn, how clients view architects. In this episode, Christian is joined by his four partners at Mancini Duffy:  William Mandara (CEO), Scott Harrell (Principal), Bolanle Williams-Olley (CFO), and Jessica Mann-Amato (Principal), who own the 100+ year-old tech-first architecture and design firm. Mancini is a New York City institution for architecture firms; back in the day, Mancini was known for corporate interiors for professional services companies, law firms, and financial institutions. When Christian joined Mancini in 2012, the concept behind his arrival was to bring the firm into the next generation in terms of projects, leadership, and culture. Years later, Mancini has grown, had some big wins, made some big mistakes, survived a global pandemic, and Christian's four partners have been like family. They are in this together. They love what they do, they share a common purpose, and they are a true partnership.  In a sense, they chose each other and for anyone listening to this, choosing your partners in business is a key component to your happiness and a key component to making a great company culture.www.manciniduffy.com https://theantiarchitect.com/
