Going from HUD to Integral, Denise Cleveland-Leggett (’84) Dwells in Possibility
After months of contemplating her next move and exploring her options, Denise Cleveland-Leggett decided to join Atlanta-based Integral Group to continue to push the envelope in the revitalization of urban America.
Cleveland-Leggett, who until earlier this year served as the Southeast regional administrator for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), has now joined Integral as a senior vice president where she will help the firm grow and expand regionally and nationally.
The move is part of several leadership moves at the company founded by Egbert Perry, who will focus his efforts on new product lines and new markets. The firm recently announced that Vicki Lundy Wilbon, a patner, was promoted to Integral’s president of real estate.
While she was at HUD, Cleveland-Leggett managed more than 840 employees in a region that included Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. She oversaw an annual budget of more than $519 million, multifamily and public housing funding of $5.3 billion, and single-family housing insurance of more than $236 billion.
