Premier, a Dallas-based firm providing architecture, interior design, procurement, project management, and corporate engineering services to the real estate industry, has appointed Johannes Michalsky to chief executive officer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most recently, Michalsky served as the company\u2019s chief operating officer, overseeing a strategic repositioning to focus on third-party business objectives. With more than 12 years of leadership experience at Premier, he has played a pivotal role in the firm\u2019s growth and geographic expansion, the company said. While Michalsky was COO, Premier improved operational efficiency and client service through the continuous enhancements to its integrated service approach.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited to deepen our commitment to exceptional client service while continuing to invest in the talented people who define Premier,\u201d Michalsky said in a statement. \u201cThe skill, dedication, and collaboration of our teams are what set this organization apart. It is a privilege to work alongside such accomplished professionals and to help bring our clients\u2019 visions to life.\u201d<\/p>\n

As CEO, Michalsky will build upon Premier\u2019s expertise spanning key real estate development sectors, including hospitality, multifamily residential, student housing, and mixed-use developments. He also will lead the firm\u2019s long-term strategy, focusing on sustained growth across all markets, and the continued advancement of Premier\u2019s fully integrated platform, the company said.<\/p>\n

Project pipeline surpassed $1B in 2025<\/p>\n

In 2025, Premier\u2019s pipeline of projects under construction or in planning surpassed $1 billion in estimated value\u2014a portfolio Michalsky plans to expand further, the company said.<\/p>\n

Michalsky\u2019s appointment follows the promotion of Premier\u2019s former CEO Hector Sanchez to the role of president of Dallas-based Ashford Inc., an alternative asset management company focused on real estate and hospitality, late last year. Premier is a privately owned subsidiary of Ashford Inc., and in his new role, Michalsky will report directly to Sanchez.<\/p>\n

\u201cJohannes Michalsky has been a driving force behind Premier\u2019s growth and operational excellence as COO, always putting clients at the center of every decision,\u201d said Sanchez. \u201cHis leadership has elevated our service standards and strengthened our commitment to delivering outstanding results for our customers. I\u2019m confident Johannes will continue to advance Premier\u2019s reputation for client-focused excellence as CEO.\u201d<\/p>\n
