Leadership & Key People

Leadership team and compensation from IRS filings

Leigh H. Perkins was a prominent businessman and conservationist who founded and led the Orvis Company. In 1965, he purchased Orvis, a 109-year-old fishing rod manufacturer with 20 employees, and transformed it into a major outdoor lifestyle brand with 700 employees and sales exceeding $90 million by his retirement.

Perkins was a pioneering advocate for corporate conservation, establishing Orvis's practice of donating 5 percent of profits to environmental causes—a model that influenced other outdoor recreation companies. He served on the boards of multiple conservation organizations, including the Nature Conservancy, Tall Timbers, Trout Unlimited, and PERC (Property and Environment Research Center), where he was the longest-serving board member from 1984 onward for approximately 30 years.
