The throughline was always access.
Brittany Leach is an executive operator, founder, and builder with more than fifteen years of leadership across healthcare, higher education, the public sector, and her own ventures. The throughline across all of it is access — to opportunity, better care, trusted information, and the chance to begin again.
Over the course of her career, Brittany has scaled research operations supporting more than 1,000 grant applications, managed more than $300M in annual sponsored research activity, built and led high-performing teams, and oversaw financial reporting for a $1B presidential campaign. Today she is Managing Partner of BridgeTrust Partners, Co-Founder & CFAO of HRTLY, and Founder of MammaVoyage and RAW™.
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. As Managing Partner of BridgeTrust Partners, she brings senior operational expertise to mission-driven ventures, growth-stage companies, and leadership platforms scaling with integrity. She also serves as Co-Founder & CFAO of HRTLY, an AI-enabled healthcare infrastructure platform, and Founder of MammaVoyage, a family travel platform built around verified childcare.
The throughline across all of it: she builds things that actually work — and she builds them with the people inside them in mind.
