Director of Sustainability, Vice President
HGA
Minneapolis, Minnesota
As Director of Sustainability at HGA, Ariane has led the firm through an internal culture shift from a grassroots sustainability model to a connected, values-driven approach where sustainability is integral to the firm's strategic plan. Her collaborative, empathetic, evidence-based leadership style results in innovative impacts on projects and within the firm. In fall of 2020, she co-chaired an HGA task force called the "Third Way of Working", charged with envisioning what the future of practice would look like after the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, the firm has integrated the task force's recommendations, resulting in transformative, people-first design and business outcomes. Ariane leads HGA’s resilience planning services, including obtaining and using climate projection data to inform design. She is co-author of "Projected climate data for building design: barriers to use", a peer-reviewed paper published in Buildings & Cities in 2022.
