WASHINGTON, DC—A new CEO will be heading Delta Associates as Greg Leisch, founder of the firm, leaves to seek new challenges in the industry. The new CEO is David Weisel, a 15-year veteran of Delta Associates with more than 30 years of real estate experience. Most recently, he was president of Delta's consulting division.

Leisch founded Delta Associates 35 years ago, with a focus on the Washington DC area commercial real estate sectors. Since then the company's consulting business has expanded nationally.

"Thirty five years ago I anticipated this transition by calling this enterprise 'Delta Associates', not 'Leisch Associates' and for good reason - it is a brand that is the collection of the brilliant work of so many talented people, led by David since 2000," Leisch said.

Prior to joining Delta, Weisel was a manager in Arthur Andersen LLP's real estate valuation and consulting practice in the firm's Strategy, Finance & Economics division. Before that, he worked for Riggs & Co. as valuation manager and asset manager for a $1 billion real estate fund, and with Real Estate Research Corporation.
