Cheryl Diamond, a Houston native, will support Kirksey's firmwide market directors with an initial focus on Science & Technology, Healthcare, Commercial, and Residential practice areas.

Kirksey is proud to welcome Cheryl as the firm's new Director of Business Development, who will oversee client relationships and partnership growth within all major Texas metros.
 
Based in Kirksey's Houston office, Cheryl will partner closely with the firm's Market Directors to build new relationships, strengthen existing ones, and further elevate the Kirksey brand. While she will support all Market Directors, her initial focus will be on Science & Technology, Healthcare, Commercial, and Residential markets. 
 
She will also serve in an overarching leadership role, collaborating with Kirksey's business development teams in Austin and Dallas to drive alignment and shared momentum across the firm.  

As a sales and business development leader with extensive market experience, her impressive career history includes establishing and fostering loyal partnerships with key decision makers in both business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) sales environments.  

Cheryl comes to Kirksey from a large Houston-based architecture firm where she engaged in project pursuits for the firm's Aviation & Transportation, Office, and Education Studios in the Houston region. 

“We’re thrilled to have Cheryl join us,” said Wes Good, President and CEO of Kirksey. “She was born and raised in Houston, just like our firm. Her deep roots and engaging personality make her a great fit for our company culture. Cheryl's experience in brand positioning, business development, and client relationships strengthens our capabilities and aligns perfectly with our strategic goals. Her ability to build meaningful partnerships and accelerate growth will be instrumental as we continue expanding and evolving our firm." 

In her new role as Director of Business Development, Cheryl will spearhead strategic lead generation, prospecting, and relationship development efforts to support the firm's growth objectives within the architecture and construction industry. She will serve as a key leader in opportunity identification, pipeline development, and positioning of the firm's expertise to prospective clients, partners, and stakeholders across targeted markets and geographies. 

"Joining Kirksey is an incredible opportunity," Diamond said. "The firm's strong legacy of client relationships and dedication to creativity and innovation truly resonate with me. Throughout my career and personal journey, I've developed a profound respect for the built environment and a passion for designing resilient, healthy spaces that enrich people's lives while caring for the planet. I'm eager to contribute new ideas to the fields of architecture, and I look forward to collaborating with the talented teams across Texas to help shape the future of this region and beyond."
