MARIANNE OEHSER
Marianne Oehser retired twice during her 40-year career which included various senior marketing roles. She failed the first time because she didn’t know the things she now helps her clients understand. She also contributed to the Gray Divorce stats, and went back to work helping global companies understand their customers and competitors. Twelve years ago, she tried retirement again and got it right this time. She is truly living the most rewarding and fulfilling part of her life and knows her clients can too. Four years ago, she partnered with Susan Latremoille to found Next Chapter Lifestyle Advisors.
Marianne is a seasoned retirement and relationship expert committed to helping people create a happy, fulfilling “post-career” phase of their lives through her workshops, seminars, public speaking, and individual coaching.

She and Susan are on the faculty of Exit Planning Institute.
