Marie Hutchinson is currently employed at Hamilton Sundstrand in San Diego, California as an Airline Account Representative. Hamilton Sundstrand Power Systems manufactures auxiliary power units (APU) which provide power and air pressure to the aircraft when the main engines are not running. Marie currently works with customers that require repair sales and customer support services for their APU's.

Marie's main experience is with main aircraft engines during her 13 years at Pratt & Whitney. Marie started as a design and project engineer for Pratt & Whitney working on the MD80 and 777 aircraft engines. Marie earned an MBA from the University of Connecticut going to night school after earning a BSME from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Shortly after receiving the MBA, Marie moved into Marketing and then into Sales. Marie's sales region was China, Korea and Australia. Marie has also worked with aircraft leasing companies that purchase aircraft as an asset and earn revenue from lease.

Marie enjoys working with international airline customers, especially in Asia, because they are so unpredictable and always come up with interesting problems. Marie enjoys solving the customers' problems which often include coordinating design improvements.

Marie has worked in a variety of volunteer roles within the community. She has always wanted to help young women with their career decisions.
