About Marc
Marc Chinama is a seasoned leader whose career spans telecommunications, aviation, retail operations, and entrepreneurship. Born and raised in New York City, he carries the discipline and resilience forged during his service as a U.S. Army 31K Communications Specialist, where he learned to thrive under pressure and lead with clarity.
Marc began his civilian career at Verizon, rising from field technician to Third-Level Manager. Over more than a decade, he oversaw large technical teams, multimillion‑dollar budgets, and mission‑critical infrastructure across the New York region. His leadership was defined by operational precision, strong team culture, and an unwavering commitment to reliability.
He later transitioned into aviation, spending nearly ten years with Alaska Airlines as both a Flight Attendant and Operations Manager. In this role, Marc mastered customer experience, safety operations, crisis management, and the fast-paced coordination required to keep flights and crews moving smoothly. His ability to lead diverse teams and maintain calm in high‑stakes environments became a defining strength.
Marc also excelled in retail leadership, holding management roles at Sprint (T-Mobile) and 2nd & Charles. He consistently drove revenue growth, improved store performance, and built high‑functioning teams through mentorship, accountability, and strategic execution.
Beyond corporate leadership, Marc has pursued entrepreneurial ventures, including owning a nightclub in the Dominican Republic and launching NapSack.com, a social platform built around connection and community. These experiences sharpened his business instincts and reinforced his passion for building things from the ground up.
Now based in Florida, Marc is channeling his decades of operational expertise, leadership experience, and entrepreneurial drive into his newest venture: Bluestar Air Group Inc. With Bluestar, he aims to create a modern, disciplined, customer‑focused air‑service company rooted in safety, efficiency, and innovation.
