Principal, Chief Comms Officer, National Public Sector Leader
Architectus
With 30 years of experience in Australia and Europe, Ruth Wilson’s diverse and accomplished career has seen her manage large, complex projects and direct multidisciplinary teams towards buildings and places that exist at the forefront of innovative design.
Ruth leads the Public Sector at Architectus and is also responsible for Clients + Communications as CCO – to these dual roles she brings a holistic, clear-eyed perspective, having led design teams, worked shoulder-to-shoulder with clients and driven communications strategies for major projects. She is a member of the Board of Architectus and has led major projects in the public domain and in higher education. She specialises in projects involving large and complex stakeholder groups and is often sought after to set the strategy for engagement and lead the consultation process.
Ruth is a communicative and collaborative architect, equally invested in building strong client relations as she is in mentoring younger architects. Over the course of her career, Ruth has held roles in the Building Regulations Advisory Committee (BRAC), as examiner and tribunal member of the Architects Registration Board Victoria and as a director of TEN Women. She is currently appointed to the PCA Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee in Victoria. Ruth has been awarded a Life Fellowship of the Australian Institute of Architects in recognition of her significant contribution to the architecture profession beyond architecture practice.
