Guillaume Henry de Ramel (born August 20, 1974) is a Rhode Island investor, philanthropist, and politician. He has run for the Democratic nomination for Secretary of State of Rhode Island twice, receiving 47% of the vote in 2006, losing to then North Providence Mayor, A. Ralph Mollis, and 49% of the vote in 2014, losing to executive director of HousingWorks RI Nellie Gorbea.
De Ramel is the son of Elizabeth Prince and the late Regis De Ramel. He grew up in Newport, Rhode Island, having lived in Monaco until he was six.
His great-great-great-grandfather was two-term Mayor of Boston Frederick O. Prince, who oversaw improvements to the city's sewer and park systems and was a key figure in the construction of the Boston Public Library., and a lineal descendant of the French philosopher Montesquieu.
De Ramel earned a bachelor's degree from Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Architectural Studies, and a Master's of Science (with honors) in Real Estate Development from Columbia University, New York. He graduated from the United States Marine Corps Officer Candidates School Platoon Leaders Class, Jr. in 1996. He earned his private pilot license at the age of seventeen.
De Ramel began his career at CMD Realty Investors, Inc., a company which developed the first master-planning office park in the country. After finishing his master's degree at Columbia University, he became a real estate investment analyst for Holiday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P., a real estate investment bank.
Moving back to Rhode Island, he co-founded a new business, Air Newport, a small air-charter service, "with his twin brother, Regis." He later worked as Chief Operating Officer of B.R. Arnold Construction, a construction company serving Aquidneck Island. He still serves as a Director of F.H. Prince LLC, a company his great-great grandfather Frederick H. Prince founded in the late-1800s.
