Meet Leigh
CEO & Founder
After over 20 years in healthcare, business and education, I went out on my own to build Bold Industries Group, a conglomerate organization that encompasses my passion for tackling big challenges that when solved, make the world a better place. My mission is to help leaders solve problems for good.
With a MHA, MEd, and MA, I'm an executive with deep experience in project management, communications, new business and technology initiatives, and I am committed to helping you take big swings of bold, so you and your organization can thrive.
"Being bold is owning your greatness and knowing you are the one to drive the changes needed, define the path, and create the map for your dreams."
Leigh Burgess is a tenacious and trailblazing entrepreneur who has earned her reputation as a game-changer within her industry.
