A Columbus, Ohio native, Suzanne has called Naples home for the past 33 years.  Suzanne was a stay-at-home mother while her children were growing up and volunteered in the community, the hospital, Catholic schools, and now still finds time to serve on the Emerald Ball committee for Catholic Charities of Collier County. She enjoys spending time with her family, boating, snorkeling and lobstering.  Suzanne joined The Ritz-Carlton, Naples Concierge’s team in 2003 and relishes the opportunity to share the history, glamour and excitement of Naples with the guests.

My present position as Lobby Concierge at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa is a novel experience for me but one which I truly enjoy, as it combines my natural curiosity of things with my interest in people. It enables me to share what I am learning of Southwest Florida with others and in the process provide a needed service to our visitors, ultimately promoting the great treasure that is Southwest Florida.

My prior career was in international business, first as International Development Manager for one of the world’s largest food companies; then, General Manager, eventually rising to President and CEO of an international marketing, sales and finance company, and as Director of their five overseas subsidiaries.

Leaving New York in 1998 to move to Florida, I formed Antunes Enterprises, Inc., an international consulting company serving manufacturing and distribution ventures in the toy and sporting goods industries abroad. Still active but subordinate to my tennis schedules!
