Mamie Harvey, recently appointed President of Alliiance, brings 29 years of science and technology architecture expertise to her new role. Her career is a testament to perseverance, shaped by moments of growth—balancing a career with personal responsibilities, adapting to evolving architectural challenges, and navigating a male-dominated industry. These experiences honed her leadership style. “Leadership requires both technical strength and the ability to connect with people,” Mamie reflects, offering advice to aspiring women leaders about the importance of developing a well-rounded skill set.

Mamie’s career is marked by milestone projects that exemplify her drive for innovation and inclusivity. Many of her favorites involve specialty research cores at the University of Minnesota, including the Minnesota Nano Center, Research Animal Resources, and the Genomics Center. These state-of-the-art facilities support campus-wide research and provide industry partners with access to cutting-edge infrastructure for R&D.

Now leading Alliiance, Mamie champions collaboration and envisions a future where the firm pushes boundaries and empowers a diverse generation of innovators. For her, architecture and leadership share a core principle: they are people-centered.
