Bialosky Announces the Retirement of Co-CEO, Paul Deutsch

October 27, 2026

Paul Deutsch, Co-CEO at Bialosky, will retire from the Cleveland-headquartered architecture firm as of January 1, 2027.  Deutsch joined the firm in 1994 as a recently licensed architect and rose to a Partner-Owner focused on firm operations and large-scale projects, such as Crocker Park – which spanned 20 years of his career, The Van Aken District, Progressive Insurance, and Medical Mutual’s corporate headquarters. Deutsch was civically engaged throughout his career. He served as Board Chair for MidTown Cleveland and ALS Association Northern Ohio Chapter. He also served on South Russell Architectural Board of Review and Little Italy Development Corporation Design Review.

Bialosky thanks Deutsch for leading the firm with wit and wisdom and giving clarity through many evolutions of the firm. His retirement will conclude his ownership of the firm, leaving seven active Partner-Owners. Partner and Co-CEO Aaron Hill remarks, “Paul has been a steady hand and a generous mentor to nearly everyone who has passed through our doors over the past three decades. His fingerprints are on this firm's culture as much as on the buildings we've designed, and both are stronger for it. We'll miss him at the table, and we intend to make him proud of what comes next”.
