Those are the most important drivers of our commitment to client service, industry leadership and long-term profitable growth – and Heather has moved the needle significantly in every one of these areas many times during her career.”
Sanchez served as an executive for enterprises such as Western Digital, Jacobs, The Alpert Group and Technicolor. As a leader in these organizations, she was responsible for initiatives in areas such as HR strategy, cultural transformation, leadership development, M&A, change management, organizational design, talent acquisition, employee and labor relations and total rewards programs.

“I’m excited about joining this industry-leading team, and learning about Jensen Hughes and the heartbeat of its people and culture,” says Sanchez. “This company has momentum. It’s setting challenging targets and exceeding them. It’s reshaping its industry. I’m eager to build a powerful talent agenda that helps drive this growth, not just here in the U.S., but across the new markets that the company is targeting around the world.”
Over the last few years, Jensen Hughes has significantly expanded its global footprint through organic growth and M&A, including acquiring more than 25 companies, aligning these teams behind a unified purpose, creating a dynamic new culture, and reorganizing worldwide to improve client service and internal efficiencies. In 2021 and the years ahead, the company expects to continue expanding beyond its fire protection and life safety services, especially in high-growth areas such as security risk management, emergency preparedness, wildland fire consulting, industrial process safety, risk-informed maintenance, and software and technology-enabled services.
