Kevin Leigh

Managing Partner · SoShiny

The idea of SoShiny came from a board seat. Kevin joined the board of a large condo HOA and found that one person ran the entire operation from memory. The books lived in Lotus 1-2-3, a program from the 1980s. If that person walked away, the whole community walked away with them. Something had to change. What started as a small fix grew into a full system. SoShiny now runs communities across 23 states and 3 countries.

Kevin has spent his career building teams and turning messy processes into simple products. He ships fast, coaches with candor, and favors action over talk. With SoShiny, he brings that same bias for action to an industry that still runs on spreadsheets, sticky notes, and paper announcements.

An Irish American builder and author, Kevin leads with honesty, grit, and faith. He has three sons and splits his time between Ormond Beach, Florida and Western New York.
