Galileo Galilei was an engineer in the early 17th century. A leading scientist in his day but not what one would call a Leader in the Political sense.
The Medici family were, however.

no. not in the classic sense that he led a nation or a group of people. He was a leader in applying scientific method and a leader in astronomy.
