Ana Soler

Ana brings the experience of working with complex projects in education, health, and community building in a variety of cultures and contexts. Ana’s life and work has been driven by the histories of her parents. She is the daughter of Cuban and Spanish parents who fled Cuba after the revolution and firmly believes that education is critical to reaching one’s full potential. She brings more than 25 years of experience in the nonprofit and government arenas and the unifying factor over her career has been to bring the voice of those who are marginalized in society to the conversations where decisions are being made. Ana is currently a senior program officer at the Gates Family Foundation on the education team. Her primary focus is on engaging with communities in Colorado’s rural and urban areas to increase equity and achievement for low-income students.
