Suzanne Marlowe Minarcine** is a dynamic and accomplished professional known for her innovative approach and dedication to her field. With a background in healthcare, aviation, higher education, and coaching, Suzanne has consistently demonstrated her ability to lead projects and foster collaborative environments.
Graduating first as a Registered Nurse, she began her career at Charlotte Memorial Hospital, now Atrium. She quickly made a name for herself and published her first book in 1994, A Case Management Resource Guide for Healthcare Professionals. Throughout her career, Suzanne has held various positions in managed health care, gaining expertise that spans all aspects of health cost management and contract negotiations.
In 1997, Suzanne made the decision to change directions entirely. She retired from healthcare, purchased four Cessna 150s, and started a flight school. She had earned her commercial pilot certificate and flight instructor certificates at age 18, and she felt this was the time to return to what she loved. The flight school grew to 130 aircraft with two locations, but this wasn’t enough. Suzanne wanted to fly jets. She sold the flight school and went to work for NetJets Aviation.
Currently, Suzanne serves as CEO of The Minarcine Group, where she works with individuals and small businesses to help them achieve their goals. Her passion for making a difference drives her to engage in community initiatives, mentor aspiring professionals, and share her insights through public speaking, writing, and teaching at the collegiate level.
In addition to her professional pursuits, Suzanne enjoys writing, working out at the gym, and spending time with family and friends, which fuel her creativity and inspire her work. She believes in the power of continuous learning and is committed to making a difference both in her industry and her community. Her second book, Flying By the Seat of My Pants, has been accepted for publication by She Writes Press. She is currently working on another book entitled Standing Strong: A Layperson’s Guide to Caregiving and Advocacy, based on her first book and her journey caring for her husband.
