Not quite. It's important to get the terminology right.

A Projects has a Project Lead, who is an individual which may or may not 
work for a given company. The Project Lead is responsible for "directing 
and coordinating the Project’s activities" [0].

When a Project is created, or when its Project Lead resigns or departs, 
candidates for a new Project Lead may be nominated by the Group Leads of 
a Project’s Sponsoring Groups. In the case of this Project, the 
sponsoring Group is the Build Group, and its Group lead is of course an 
individual.

The Project Lead for the JDK 6 Project is Andrew Haley.
