Leigh Bartley
A technology transformation leader with experience across healthcare, life sciences, and banking.
When the work is complex and everyone has an opinion, I bring structure, clarity, and momentum—so the program moves forward and the outcome sticks.
How do I do it? The recipe for my “secret sauce” has three ingredients: I build trust fast, translate complexity into plain language, and run disciplined delivery—so we don’t just make progress, we stick the landing!
How I work​:
-
No-surprises delivery: clear plan, clear owners, decisions documented
-
Stakeholder alignment: I get the right people in the room and keep decisions moving
-
Vendor accountability: partners, not passengers (scope, cost, outcomes)
-
Momentum culture: transparent comms, practical problem-solving
My best-fit environment
-
Complex work, real constraints, grown-up leadership
-
Teams that value clarity, ownership, and outcomes over politics and theater
​

Transitions Management Leader

Truist
We have worked on several projects together over the past few years at Truist.
I have seen first-hand what he has been able to accomplish as a program manager and most currently as product manager for a product that is being retired. He engenders cooperation from all his stakeholders and participants by being so engaging with everyone.

He exceeded the client's contracted targets, despite a number of factors that made these goals a stretch!
As the account manager to the client, he was my partner-in-success!
Leigh's commitment to working with the client and harnessing the strength of his team earned us $500K in additional revenue.
Chandan Thakur

The Home Depot
He truly brought order to the chaos we were experiencing.
The energy and innovation he brought to my team kept their morale high and everyone engaged. Our new-hires, off-shore contractors, and our seasoned teammates felt valued and appreciated for their efforts.

@
Feedzai
As the VP of Channel Sales, I saw first-hand what he was able to accomplish for our Atlanta office where he oversaw multiple complex projects, managed our vendors, oversaw operations, and was a great mentor to our on-site staff!
Leigh IS the guy who gets things done.
Patricia Shewmaker, PhD.
Microbiologist
@
CDC
He was truly committed to the success of my laboratory --and we are not the easiest group to work with!
He took the time to listen and to understand what our needs and pain-points were. He was our champion to the steering committee and provided us with viable solutions that truly helped us work smarter, not harder.
