They may not be the musicians APV typically interviews, however the women leading the charge at The Berkeley Oceanfront Hotel in Asbury Park, New Jersey are rockstars in their own right. I spoke with Hotel Manager Giuseppina (aka Laura) Ferrara and Director of Sales Margot McPherson recently with the goal of highlighting female entrepreneurs for Women’s History Month in March.
Laura and Margot spoke about their ultimate mission of making The Berkeley a premiere destination at the Jersey Shore by closely aligning with the vibrant community of Asbury Park. Now incorporating music concerts along with their other offerings of corporate events, weddings, and family get-aways … this hotel gushes both nostalgia and modernization through its beautifully maintained spaces and amenities. Never willing to back down from a challenge or new opportunity, Laura and Margot spoke in-depth about looking at every obstacle knowing there’s a corresponding solution. They approach every issue with the mantras, “How can we get to yes?” and “I’ll be the light at the end of the tunnel!” so that every challenge results in a win.
