Most recently Ameche became an entrepreneur as chairman of The Ameche Group LLC, manufacturer of the MicciMicci line of chic, practical and stylish travel solutions.

In more than 25 years of business experience, she has served as Vice President and Chief Information Officer for the Tribune Company, a Fortune 500 media and entertainment company, and has held other positions with software manufacturers and management and technology consulting firms.
