Gerardo Gandy receives 2020 Austin Under 40 Award
I am excited to share that I have been selected as the recipient of the 2020 Austin Under 40 Award in the category of Architecture, Engineering, and Construction.
With a well-cultured background in architecture, interior design, and brand strategy, Gerardo works with some of Austin’s largest developers. He’s on the front lines, creating a vision for how the urban, cultural, and architectural landscape is transforming in Austin. As a member of the steering committee for Gensler’s Community Impact Program, Gerardo helps steer the firm’s vision for community impact by focusing efforts and resources on initiatives ranging from non-profit collaborations, mentorship programs, and community engagement events.
Gerardo is the founding Chairman of the ACE Mentor Program of Austin, a non-profit program dedicated to educating high school students about careers in architecture and design. In addition, has served on the AIA Austin’s Board of Directors as the Outreach Commissioner and most recently appointed by Austin City Council to serve as board member for the Emma S Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center.
For more than two decades, the Young Women’s Alliance and Young Men’s Business League have partnered annually to host the Austin Under 40 Awards. With over 1,300 nominations this year, Tribeza announced the 80 finalists in March. After multiple rounds of deliberations with almost 200 judges weighing in on the finalist’s leadership achievements and community service efforts, the 16 winners have been chosen.
