Ramses "Rams" Meijer has demonstrated a profound capability to lead large-scale operations across the fintech and travel sectors, deftly managing extensive aspects of online technology, including product management, marketing, sales, analytics, and more. His expertise in guiding geographically dispersed teams toward rapid optimizations and strategic growth has made him a distinguished figure in these industries. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish WerkMagic in North Carolina, a full-service company specializing in property management, marketing, and consulting for short-term rental properties. As the CEO, his comprehensive understanding of sales, marketing strategies, and organizational leadership is propelling the company toward significant growth.

Before founding WerkMagic, Meijer built a robust career in hotel sales and marketing, spanning 14 years and including pivotal roles at prominent hotels such as the InterContinental in D.C. and Chicago, Omni Hotels in Dallas, and The Langham in Chicago. His extensive experience in this field is backed by a solid educational foundation from NHL Stenden Hotel Management School in The Netherlands, enhanced by a prestigious full-year internship at the Ritz-Carlton Company in the United States, where he earned multiple accolades for his performance.

Ramses, originally from Doetinchem, The Netherlands, is a polyglot fluent in English, Dutch, and German. He has lived in diverse cities across Europe and the USA, including Leeuwarden, Atlanta, Washington, DC, and currently Charlotte. He shares his life with his wife, April, their daughter, Maxime, and their two dogs, Riley and Remy.

Recently, he has taken up tennis and pickleball, participating in local leagues in Charlotte.

His recent projects include constructing a large composite deck, a yard fence, and various home improvements, showcasing his knack for hands-on tasks. Beyond personal and professional pursuits, he and his family are devoted to community service, actively volunteering and supporting local charities and initiatives, which reflects their deep commitment to contributing positively to society.

Impactful leaders create systems that optimize for creativity and innovation.

My work helps leaders to scale their leadership by sharing lessons from the trenches about how to use language, hold space, and foster environments that maximize clarity and optimize for innovation.

"The Momentum Framework" is a collection of contextual models and language tools that form a system that creates this space.

The result is >> MOMENTUM which can be measured through relationships and innovations.

My journey in innovation began with building software products at the ripe age of 11, programming on my 8-Bit Commodore Vic-20 in the 1980s. I never stopped. I studied aviation electronics working on F-14 Tomcats in the Navy, molecular genetics at the University of Rochester, and earned an MBA from the Simon School of Business in 2006, where I now teach and have won awards for the class that I developed.

However, most of my experience has come from two and a half decades of working in the trenches with amazing teams building innovative software products that move, touch and inspire the world. ITX is a passionate group of 260+ inspired technologists, architects, and artists that produce magic every day for our clients. We are pioneering how software products are built and creating best practices that are forging the future of how technology interfaces with people.

With my partners at ITX and in other ventures, I have engineered the divestiture, acquisition, and mergers of over a dozen companies. Through CEO and leadership roundtables worldwide and a professorship at the University of Rochester, I have educated thousands of business leaders on innovation, culture, trust, empathy, and "The Momentum Framework."

This work has led to many accolades such as the Vistage "New Advisor of the Year", "Top Advisor", "Top Rated Professor" and the Trust Across America "Top Thought Leader in Trust" awards.
