Chatham Resident Named Among Top Women Entrepreneurs in NJ

Chatham resident Margaret Marcucci is one of New Jersey’s Top 25 Leading Women Entrepreneurs of 2013, according to Leading Women Entrepreneurs (LWE).

Marcucci, the CEO and president of Coranet Corp, and the 24 other honorees will be recognized at a gala event Dec. 5 in Bedminster.

LWE honors women who exhibit outstanding performance and achievement in business and economic innovation, community involvement and advocacy for women.

A founding partner of Coranet, Marcucci negotiated and completed the private purchase of Camelot Communications Group Inc. from a public company in 2004. Coranet is a privately-held company that provides infrastructure technology—voice, data and video network installation and maintenance—for clients.

The company's headquarters is in New York, and has seven offices around the country, including a location in Fairfield, N.J., according to its website.

Marcucci attributes the company’s success and growth to strong client focus. She was featured in the 2012 Woman's Advantage Shared Wisdom Calendar with one of her favorite sayings: "Perfection is the illusion that stares back at us from the mirror, but excellence is the reflection of satisfied clients."

Marcucci won the Women Presidents’ Organization Done Deals Leadership Award in 2012 for executing the most contracts in the Tri-State area, and she is involved with groups that support women in business.

Marcucci and Coranet also are committed to the New Jersey community, according to an announcement from the company about the award. Coranet supported a program over the summer that brought dozens of disadvantaged teens to New York Liberty women's professional basketball games at The Prudential Center in Newark—an opportunity that was coordinated by The Catholic Charities Diocese of Metuchen, Morris County Youth Shelter, Willowglen Academy and other agencies, the announcement says.

Marcucci also has participated in American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life in Chatham.
