LAURA LEIGH BARRETT

Vice President

Laura Leigh is a dedicated owner’s advocate with a proven track record of delivering high-quality projects on time and within budget. With deep experience leading complex initiatives—particularly for public institutions—she understands the delicate balance of managing multiple stakeholders, limited resources, and ambitious goals. Her early roles with GSFIC and TCSG on the owner’s side shaped her practical, people-first approach to project management.

Now serving as Vice President, Laura Leigh is known for her ability to align diverse interests, streamline processes, and foster a cohesive, collaborative environment. She builds trust through thoughtful communication, strategic oversight, and an unwavering focus on budget and schedule. A firm believer in empowering others, she launched IMPACT’s women’s resource group, PACT, to create space for meaningful conversations, shared experiences, and both personal and professional growth. Whether she’s digging into the details or advocating for her team and clients, Laura Leigh brings clarity, confidence, and connection to every project she leads.
