GGB PODCAST: Scott Fisher and Suzanne Perilloux Leckert, Partners, Convergence Strategy Group

This week the GGB Podcast talks with Scott Fisher and Suzanne Perilloux Leckert, partners in the Convergence Strategy Group, about how their company has become an important consulting organization for jurisdictions and companies getting involved in gaming.

When two of the most respected consultants in the gaming industry decided to partner to form the Convergence Strategy Group, it immediately became a major player, even though Scott Fisher and Suzanne Perilloux Leckert describe their effort as a “boutique” outfit.  Probably their most successful contribution was to Danville, an effort to bring gaming to the southern Virginia town that was down on its luck.  They helped the city through the process, explaining how to get the most for their community. After a bidding process, Caesars Entertainment was chosen as the developer and today the temporary casino is off and running.  They’ve worked with clients in the U.S., Europe and Asia and have contacts around the world.  They spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros during the Indian Gaming Tradeshow & Convention in Anaheim in April.
