Suzette Michele Quintanilla-Arriaga (born June 29, 1967) is an American business executive who is the current chief executive officer of Q-Productions. Suzette began her musical career as the drummer for Selena y Los Dinos, a Tejano band that featured her elder brother, A.B. Quintanilla, on bass guitar and her younger sister, Selena, as the lead vocalist. In 1989, the group secured a recording contract with EMI Latin. Following a series of critically acclaimed and commercially successful albums, the label strategized a crossover for Selena into the mainstream English-language pop market. After Selena's death on March 31, 1995, Suzette retired from performing and devoted herself to safeguarding and promoting Selena's image through a variety of initiatives in collaboration with her family. She oversaw operations at the Selena Etc. boutiques, later expanding the brand's presence into major department stores, before the boutiques' closure in 2009. Suzette was appointed chief executive of Q-Productions in May 2016, after her father, Abraham Quintanilla stepped down. She oversees the label's operations, manages the Selena Museum, and directs licensing initiatives for Selena-related ventures...
