Leonard Sandridge began working for the University in 1967[2] as a staff member of the university's internal auditor. In 1986, he became the executive assistant to the president. In 1989 he rose to vice president for business and finance, before becoming senior vice president and chief financial officer in 1993. He was promoted to executive vice president and chief operating officer,[1] as well as chief financial officer for the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia[3]. He retired on July 1, 2011. In May 2011, UVa President Teresa Sullivan named Michael Strine as new University's Executive VP and COO[4].

Sandridge remained employed by U.Va as a part-time advisor. [2]
Following the resignation and reinstatement of Teresa Sullivan, Governor Bob McDonald created the "Senior Advisor to the Board of Visitors" position which was then filled by Sandridge and William H. Goodwin, Jr.[1]
