Preferred Hotels' Lindsey Ueberroth on the family business and the evolution of travel
The Ueberroth name is well-known throughout California. Peter Ueberroth was once the commissioner of Major League Baseball and also an integral cog in bringing the Olympic Games to Los Angeles in 1984. John Ueberroth, Peter's brother, is a travel industry legend and became co-owner, with his wife, of Preferred Hotels & Resorts in 2004. His daughter, Lindsey, joined Preferred in 2007 and in that time spearheaded the rebranding of Preferred Hotel Group to Preferred Hotels & Resorts. In 2018, she became CEO, taking over from her father. In this podcast, she discusses taking over the reins of the family business, the evolution of the travel industry and its myriad components, Preferred's position within the travel ecosystem, leadership of it and even a little story about NBA legend Tim Duncan.
