Ms. Leckert joined TMG Consulting in the Spring of 2009. She previously worked for The Innovation Group as the Director of Development Analysis, where she evaluated the practicality and feasibility of large and small scale developments across the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, Central America, Europe and Africa. Prior to this five year stint, Ms. Leckert was a City Planner and Special Assistant to the Planning Director for the City of New Orleans. Her 10 years of work experience also includes a staff position with U.S. Senator John Breaux and one with the Tax and Estates practice of the law firm Jones, Walker, Waechter, Poitevent, Carrere and Denegre.
In her career as a planner, Ms. Leckert has become proficient in the performance of gaming market studies, amenity analyses, and highest and best use studies. Using her tuned research skills and ability to utilize complex models (gravity and otherwise), she has generated financial projections for developments as small as an individual restaurant and as large as a $3 billion multi-component and multi-phased resort. She is well-versed in the use of GIS technology to solve real-world problems and the analysis of markets – gaming, hotel, amusement, entertainment, retail, food and beverage, and spa. Her experience working for government and legal entities has also given her an edge in understanding the needs and goals of municipalities and Native American tribal governments.
In graduate school, Ms. Leckert specialized in Historic Preservation, participating in studies and making recommendations for re-development of historic neighborhoods and commercial corridors. Her master’s thesis was entitled, “Is It Worth It? The Effect of Local Historic District Designation on Real Property Values in New Orleans, Louisiana”.
At TMG Consulting, Ms. Leckert is responsible for assessments of our clients’ potential developments, as well as for the overall business development of the firm.
