Rising from receptionist to CEO and chairman of PR giant PMK*BNC, Berger has her hands full helping her A-list clients navigate fame. Berger’s clients (Lena Dunham and Rosie O’Donnell, to name two) and staff know her motto well: “If you mess up, ’fess up.” Berger counts her client Barbara Walters among her role models, explaining that watching Walters’ career unfold has been an interesting case study on the state of the industry’s gender equality. “On the ‘Today’ show, she was only allowed to ask the fourth question into an interview,” Berger says. “You hear about that today and it really is remarkable. You look at the past and see where you were, and we have come a long way, and we still have a long way to go.”
