Hyphen appoints new chief executive

International architectural practice Hyphen has promoted Eva Diego to chief executive as part of a planned leadership transition effective from January 2026.

Eva succeeds Eddie Miles, who will remain with the business as chair, and takes on the role as Hyphen continues to build its international footprint across architecture and digital infrastructure.

An architect with more than 25 years’ experience, Eva has played a central role in Hyphen’s global growth. 

She established the firm’s Madrid studio, led its expansion across Latin America and developed long-term relationships with major global technology and lifestyle brands.

As chief executive, Eva will focus on strengthening Hyphen’s advisory capabilities, deepening client relationships and expanding its work across international architecture and digital infrastructure.

Eva 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.”

Hyphen operates from 11 offices worldwide and works with developers, investors and global brands across retail, hospitality, workplace, logistics and data centre projects.

Eddie Miles, chair of Hyphen, added: “Eva’s appointment reaffirms Hyphen’s ambition to become a truly international practice. 

“She has been central to the business’s growth over many years, and I have total confidence in her leadership. 

“My role now is to support Eva and the wider leadership team, ensuring continuity while the business continues to develop.”
