Summary
Leigh Garland is a seasoned technology leader and founder with 14 years of hands-on product and delivery experience and a 25-year career moving complex, ambiguous problems from discovery to impact. As co-founder and Managing Director of Doubly Good, he blends service strategy, AI-assisted platforms and pragmatic engineering to help manufacturers and organisations innovate from factory floor to boardroom. He has a track record of unifying data and teams—delivering global R&D data platforms, automating decision workflows, and saving hundreds of person-days through contextualised telemetry and analytics. Earlier roles span enterprise transformation at John Lewis and Tesco, rapid public-sector product launches at the Ministry of Justice, and lifesaving digital health prototypes deployed in Kenya during COVID-19. Leigh combines creative training in fine art with deep technical product intuition, often exploring novel interfaces for AI assistants and shared memory architectures. He’s as comfortable leading stakeholder-heavy GDS reviews as he is building weekend USSD prototypes that scale into critical services.
