Ana Ramos

Ana Ramos (she/her) is constantly radically reimagining a better world for everyone. Her passion for equitable and sustainable economic development has been a driving force throughout her adult life. She currently is a Manager of Capital Strategies at Common Future, where she co-develops and structures pilot products and innovative initiatives, specifically around impact investment capital, that have the potential to transform the field. Before this role, she worked at the Food Trust, where she worked closely with food entrepreneurs in Camden, New Jersey, managed the Pennsylvania Fresh Food Financing Initiative, and worked on a bi-national healthy food initiative in the Paso del Norte Region. As a daughter of entrepreneurs (and a social entrepreneur herself), she knows firsthand the impact these initiatives can have on our communities. She is currently a Financial Activist Fellow at the Just Economy Institute where she is deepening her understanding of the extractive economic system and the ways financial and social capital can be used to effect systemic change.

Ana is deeply rooted in the Philadelphia community. Still, she is a true Caribbean at heart. Originally from the Dominican Republic, she is blessed to visit the islands often. When not at work, you can find her working on her social enterprise, Colectiva Clara, crafting, going on long walks in her neighborhood, dancing at home with her partner, cooking/eating, and playing and learning with her daughter/bestie.
