President
Zerimar Corporation
San Jose, CA
After she inherited her father's construction company with only two employees and a $10,000 project, she changed its name to Zerimar Corporation. Four years later, it boasts $7 million in annual revenues and employs more than 30 people, making it the number 1 company on the 1999 Hispanic Business Fastest-Growing 100 directory. For her entrepreneurial success, Ms. Ramirez has been honored by the YWCA and the Small Business Administration.
