Ramona Runions
executive director
Ramona Runions is the co-founder of FERS and currently serves in the role of Executive Director. Prior to FERS, Ramona spent more than 20 years in the banking and mortgage sectors in executive and managerial roles. Inspired after the post-2008 housing crisis to help others with financial security, Ramona caught the entrepreneurial spirit and used her finance and customer service expertise to establish FERS—a company focused on leading clients to prosperity and peace of mind in retirement.
Ramona approaches every client circumstance with hard work, passion, and care; for her, clients are family.
As head of the FERS team, she ensures that FERS is focused on guiding clients through the federal benefits system, which is not intuitive and can cause even the most alert federal employees to stumble in their retirement goals. Ramona (and FERS) understands that each client has a unique story and needs customized retirement planning for those circumstances, but she also knows that preparation is crucial to success. Using this values-centered approach and its “ CLIENT FIRST” philosophy, she is committed to helping each employee manage their benefits with confidence.
Ramona and team stay ahead of the curve with the latest in retirement and insurance products, as well as sector trends and strategies. In addition, Ramona is part of a network of the country’s best wealth and financial management professionals and is a member of groups like The Independent Excellence Group, an elite and diverse think-tank of such top experts. She also holds the district certificate of ChFEBC.
Ramona spends her free time with her husband, Ron, and cat, Wrigley, in their Atlanta home. Her large family of 6 children and step-children, 14 grandchildren, 4 great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and grand-dogs and grand-cats who light up her world.
Ramona’s greatest source of joy is seeing the success and community spirit of her children. She also enjoys gardening, playing the piano, rollercoasters, theater, golfing, and poker. And, a native southerner, Ramona never shies away from a good opportunity to entertain.
