Biography

Ramberg was born to a Jewish family[2] the daughter of Constance "Connie" (née Rudow) and Max Ramberg. Her mother died in 2001.[3] She comes from a long line of entrepreneurs. Her paternal grandfather immigrated to the United States from Mexico first working as a peddler of pots and pans before opening a furniture store, a storage business, a document storage business, and a real estate firm; her father expanded the businesses.[4] Her maternal grandfather founded numerous companies including a tropical fish company, a tire distribution company, and was the first person to bring frozen pizza to California.[4] In 1988, her mother and brother, Ken, founded JOBTRAK, a job listing and resume database for college students, which they sold to Monster.com in 2000.[4][5]

Ramberg graduated cum laude from Duke University with a bachelor of arts degree in English, class of 1992, and holds her MBA from Stanford Business School. Ramberg and her brother Ken founded the charitable search engine GoodSearch in November 2005. She gave birth to her first child in early 2007.[6][7]

Ramberg is married to architect Scott Glass; the couple lives in Brooklyn[8][9] with their three children.[10]
