Dr. Deborah BriggsAfter a two year restoration, and through a range of strategic partnerships, the newly restored Betsy Hotel has become a catalyst for energized discourse, innovative thinking, and good works. Indeed, The Betsy has emerged with a beauty that is more than skin deep, offering an inspiring outlook that extends beyond its own neighborhood in South Beach — to the world. In this effort, the property names Dr. Deborah Briggs as Vice President for Philanthropy to provide strategic and operational leadership for The Betsy's community-conscious efforts, that will, in the words of Jonathan Plutzik, Chairman and Principal Partner, “build our business and make the world a better place.” As a proven leader and social entrepreneur with almost 30 years of experience bridging profit and non-profit business, Briggs takes on the role of charitable giver and community activist in the name of The Betsy and its growing family of global guests.
