Filmed at Wildcat’s downtown HQ, the episode traces her evolution from fashion & energy to urban revitalization.
-- Dallas real estate developer Tanya Ragan, president of Wildcat Management, joined The Pam Goodwin Show to share how resilience, adaptability, and strong relationships shaped her rise from fashion and energy to leading historic redevelopment projects in Downtown Dallas.
Ragan’s story spans industries from early work in New York’s fashion sector to launching Wildcat Management in Texas during the Barnett Shale boom. She explained how title research, permitting, and stakeholder coordination in energy projects seamlessly translated to real estate development.
“In any industry, your skill set is transferable,” said Ragan. “When you combine adaptability with strong relationships, you can pivot, perform, and build for the long term.”
Filmed at Wildcat’s Dallas headquarters with the skyline as a backdrop, the conversation explored her approach to urban revitalization, including Wildcat’s ongoing work on the Purse Building, a 120-year-old Dallas landmark located steps from Dealey Plaza. Ragan emphasized that historic redevelopment requires persistence and vision, particularly in markets evolving as quickly as Dallas.
“Dallas is one of the most dynamic urban markets in the country,” Ragan added. “There’s extraordinary opportunity for investors, operators, and civic partners to shape the next generation of downtown growth.”
Throughout the interview, Ragan and host Pam Goodwin discussed the importance of female leadership in commercial real estate and how perseverance has guided Ragan’s career across multiple industries. She also shared insights from recent speaking engagements, including the CREi Summit, where she addressed brand authenticity in podcasting.
