Lockhart with Berkadia Helps Shape the Future of Hospitality Capital Markets
LaQuint Lockhart is the Senior Director of Operations for Berkadia’s Hotels & Hospitality team, where he oversees many aspects of the business, driving strategic initiatives that enhance efficiency, elevate client service and accelerate transaction timelines.
Lockhart plays a critical role in scaling the platform’s impact and advancing its reputation as a trusted advisor in the hospitality industry. In 2025, he helped the team close $4 billion across 75 transactions.
He partners with Berkadia’s Employee Engagement and Talent Acquisition teams to support mentoring initiatives, recruiting efforts and speaking engagements for college students interested in CRE.
