ABOUT
Brittany Leach grew up understanding that systems matter — that the difference between a good idea and a real outcome is almost always in the execution infrastructure around it. That instinct carried her from studying finance and accountancy at the University of Illinois to a Master of Public Administration at NYU, and into nearly a decade at one of the most operationally demanding institutions in the country.
At NYU Langone Health, she rose from Senior Financial Analyst to Director of Sponsored Research Administration — ultimately spearheading the establishment of the inaugural Sponsored Research Operations Core, overseeing pre- and post-award administration across a premier academic medical center. It was the kind of environment that doesn't tolerate vague strategy: every decision had financial, regulatory, and organizational consequence. She learned to lead with both rigor and emotional intelligence, and to build systems that hold under pressure.
That track record opened different doors. She stepped into presidential politics as Director of Financial Reporting for Hillary for America — establishing the financial foundation of a $1B campaign, one of the largest in American history. A few years later, she returned briefly as a consultant to the Biden for President campaign, bringing the same financial discipline to a new stage.
What came next wasn't a pivot — it was a natural progression. Brittany co-founded BridgeTrust Partners to bring senior operational expertise to the organizations that need it most: mission-driven ventures, growth-stage companies, and leadership platforms navigating the complexity of scaling with integrity. She also serves as Co-Founder and CFAO of HRTLY, an AI-enabled healthcare infrastructure platform, and Founder of MammaVoyage, a family travel platform built around verified childcare.
Alongside her partner Michael Leach — HarperCollins author and national leadership voice — she architects the systems, strategy, and operations behind the broader Leach portfolio.
The through-line across all of it: she builds things that actually work — and she builds them with the people inside them in mind.
