Andrea Ramos moved to Seattle in 2003 and started her career in insurance sales before she founded and ran the healthy fast-food company, GFF, now called Wonderbowl. She started from scratch in her own kitchen in 2012. Her introduction to property management was leasing out her own home, as a tenant in a commercial commissary kitchen and then building her own commercial commissary kitchen in South Seattle out of a converted fortune cookie factory. She found tenants that were a good fit for the kitchen and shared the space well with her growing business operations. She learned that finding the right balance of rent and fit was essential to success. After her businesses were acquired in 2019, she set her sights on a new industry. In 2021 she was hired by MacPherson’s to help modernize and run the company with an eye on efficiency, productivity, and long-term growth. Just as she had her own food business, the entrepreneur in her searched for the best way to get things accomplished. This has all come true for MacPherson’s as she has been the catalyst behind the restructuring of the Property Management and Corporate divisions. A graduate of Arizona State University, she enjoys hot yoga, cooking, and traveling to any place with sunshine near a beach. She lives in north Seattle with her two children and husband.
