About Ana H.

I lead complex, multi-phased healthcare programs from planning through construction, with 20+ years of experience delivering acute care, institutional, and commercial projects across multiple countries.At Perkins+Will, I direct delivery strategy for the infrastructure projects within the Harborview Medical Center Bond Program, owning the construction sequence, permit packaging strategy, and critical path scheduling across multiple concurrent scopes on an occupied hospital campus. I also led technical delivery on Swedish Medical Center\'s Hughes Tower, a $1.2B, SF acute care expansion coordinating teams across three offices.My expertise spans healthcare program delivery, construction sequencing, regulatory navigation (FGI Guidelines, DOH standards, ADA, energy codes), building systems integration, BIM coordination, and proposal development. I translate complex infrastructure into clear milestones and keep large teams, consultants, and owner stakeholders aligned on scope, schedule, and quality.Licensed architect (Colombia), WA licensure in progress, LEED AP BD+C, DBIA. Master\'s in Sustainable Design from EPFL and UCLouvain. Fluent in English, French, and Spanish.
