Hyphen strengthens international leadership team with promotion of Eva Diego to CEO
LONDON/MADRID -- Hyphen, an international architectural practice working with many of the world’s leading brands and digital infrastructure developers, has announced the appointment of Eva Diego as its new Chief Executive Officer.
As part of a planned transition, effective from January 2026, Eva succeeds Eddie Miles, who remains with Hyphen in the role of Chair.
Eva’s appointment marks a significant milestone in Hyphen’s ongoing growth and evolution, as the business looks to build on decades of experience delivering complex projects across retail, hospitality, workplace, logistics and the fast-growing digital infrastructure sector.
An architect with more than 25 years’ experience, Eva has been instrumental in Hyphen’s multi-national growth. She established the Madrid studio, led the company’s expansion into and across Latin America, and forged long-term partnerships with some of the world’s most influential technology and lifestyle brands.
As CEO, Eva will focus on strengthening Hyphen’s advisory capability, deepening relationships with major clients, and expanding the firm’s work in international architecture and digital infrastructure.
Eva Diego, CEO of Hyphen, said: “I feel privileged to be taking Hyphen into its exciting next chapter. Global demand for critical digital infrastructure is reshaping the built environment, and we are well positioned to lead. We act as both expert delivery partners and trusted architectural advisors for our clients, helping them to navigate complex and technically demanding projects while ensuring commercial viability.”
