William "Bill" Leahy, founder of Renaissance Reliability (RR), is a visionary leader on a mission to elevate American manufacturing to global heights by championing innovation, reliability, and manufacturing effectiveness. In the aftermath of his brother's tragic suicide, a USMC Infantry officer, in December 2022, Bill turned personal grief into a commitment to combat veteran suicide. This led to the establishment of UNTURNING STEEL, aimed at bringing veterans and manufacturing together. The convergence of these missions has birthed a collective goal – "Reimagining what it means to be MADE IN AMERICA." Bill's dedication earned UNTURNING STEEL the prestigious 2024 “Best Cultural Innovation Award” from the University of Tennessee – Knoxville (UTK) and Everything Reliability. Bill has excelled in various roles in his manufacturing career, demonstrating expertise in Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), and other continuous improvement methodologies. A former US Army Captain, Bill's leadership journey began at the United States Military Academy, where he was an NCAA Division 1 Army West Point hockey player. His academic accomplishments include a BS from West Point, an MBA from the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill, and a Reliability & Maintainability Implementation Certification (RMIC) from the University of Tennessee. Bill, residing in Southeastern New England, is dedicated to his family and contributes to the community as a Thames Club member and volunteers as a hockey and soccer coach for local colleges and youth sports organizations.
