I feel lucky to have been able to create a life out of pursuing the things that I love to do for over 20 years now. I grew up playing in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon, and eventually made it up to Alaska where I found my first guiding job and eventually realized that I might be able to make a living out of it.

I’ve now been to places that I never dreamed I would ever get a chance to go, climbed all the “7 Summits” twice, stood on top of Mount Everest 3 times.   I take great pleasure in sharing those experiences with climbers from around the world.   Although I spend most of my time in the San Juans Mountains of Colorado now, Alaska is still in my blood and I’ve guided nearly 30 expeditions on Denali, and  expeditions to Mt. Foraker, Mt. Huntington, Mt. Fairweather, and many other peaks in Alaska.

I  manage to get out of the Mountain Trip office just enough that I am able to work as a ski guide in the winter for both heli skiing and as part of our own backcountry ski touring program here in the San Juans. I spend my winters in Ophir, CO with my very understanding wife, Sonja and our boy, Parker.   We still spend part of each summer in Alaska running the day-to-day operations of our Denali season.

Studies have found that 40-60% of high-performing employees fail or underperform when appointed as managers within their first two years on the job. Such situations are costly for both the managers who fear demotions or lose out on salary increases and promotions, as well as the organizations that lose talent and productivity.

The cause of this high rate of failure is due to the vast majority of new managers never receiving the leadership training they desperately need to succeed in their role.

Ramona runs The Leadership Accelerator, a 12-week program that coaches first-time managers to become confident and competent leaders who deliver results and who people love to work with.

Through the program, she has helped hundreds of new managers at startups and leading companies — including Google, Twitch, Asana, Lionsgate, and Dropbox — successfully transition into leadership roles.

Before becoming a leadership coach, Ramona worked at Partners Group, a global private markets firm with $127B in assets under management and over 1,500 professionals across 20 offices worldwide. 

At the firm, Ramona moved from a Junior Financial Analyst to Vice President in under six years.
