Mar 11    Elevations Luncheon Dominique Ranieri March 2024
Join the Charleston Area Alliance’s Elevations professional women’s network luncheon at the University of Charleston's Appalachian Room as we welcome keynote speaker Dominique Ranieri.
 

Dominique Ranieri is the Airport Director & Chief Executive Officer of West Virginia International Yeager Airport, owned and operated by the Central West Virginia Airport Authority. Ranieri’s role and responsibilities include the day-to-day oversight of the Airport’s Executive Leadership Team and West Virginia International Yeager Airport. She oversees a staff of over 100, a $13.7 million budget, and daily operations of the largest commercial Airport in the state of West Virginia that generated a $225-million economic impact in the state.

 

She has worked at CRW since 2017, starting as the Airport’s Marketing Director and working her way up to the CEO role. Before being named CEO, Ranieri served as Assistant Airport Director for nearly two years. Her hard work has led to many additions (and schedule adjustments) to service at CRW Airport—notably, the Airport’s largest air service announcement and partnership with Breeze Airways. Her appointment to her current position was made official in September 2022. She is the first woman to lead West Virginia International Yeager Airport.
