About Veronica
I honestly can’t remember a time when Joseph Chris Partners wasn’t part of my life. My parents, Joe and Victoria Ramirez founded this company in our garage in 1977, and they had me stuff envelopes for mailouts to potential clients when I was just a young girl. I guess you can say that I started in the “mailroom” and made it to the CEO’s office!
After playing college basketball and exploring a career with the Fire Department, I came home to Houston and joined Joseph Chris Partners in 1998. I started as a recruiter, and with my dad as a mentor, I quickly established myself as a leading consultant in the industry. Even then, I took pride in providing clients with a consistent flow of quality candidates and business partnerships. With clients, I’ve always sought to be a strategic partner and to work with integrity and unmatched professionalism. The combination of “head and heart” is among my greatest assets.
Throughout my career, I’ve focused on building relationships that have enabled me to provide my clients with candidates in C-level roles and executive positions in finance, sales, and marketing, operations, and land. I’ve developed multi-divisional relationships with both public and privately held companies, even when they may operate within one local market.
In May of 1998, I started with Joseph Chris. Working and reporting to your father isn’t easy, especially when his expectations are higher for you than others. But I thrive on that… It worked for me. In October of 2005, I was named President of the company and three years later assumed the CEO role by purchasing the company, filling my father’s shoes as he moved into retirement.
My greatest success is continuing Joseph Chris's services with the brightest team. I’m fortunate enough to carry on my parents’ legacy with a team of dedicated, passionate, and fun professionals with whom I enjoy spending a significant part of my life!
Outside of work, I love riding motorcycles, cycling, canoeing, hiking up legacy mountains, taking RV trips, safaris, deep sea fishing, archery, sporting clays, slingshot shooting, and golf. My kids, a Golden Retriever Lexi, St. Bernadoodle Marci, Standard Poodle Paris, and little Ruby, a Boston Terrier are those I love to spend time with along with my brother Joey, his wife Lisa, their 5 kids, and my mother and father Joe and Victoria Ramirez. Giving back is also important to me, and I do so through organizations that support our service members and their families, first responders, cancer research, animals, and, of course, our community. My life is too good not to appreciate and support others.
