Col. Elliott Leigh, outgoing AFWERX director, relinquishes command by passing the guidon to U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Jason Bartolomei, commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory and the Department of the Air Force’s technology executive officer, during the AFWERX change of leadership ceremony at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, June 17, 2025. The passing of the guidon symbolizes the formal transfer of authority and responsibility. Leigh, retiring after 23 years of service, has led AFWERX and served as the Department of the Air Force's chief commercialization officer since December 2022. Under his leadership, AFWERX executed more than 3,300 contracts worth over $3.1 billion, connecting small businesses with Air and Space Force needs, advancing critical technologies, and strengthening national security.
