The judging panel - organised independently by Real Business and the CBI - chose Leach over property tycoon Grant Bovey, Michael Cleary of 1st Credit, Loewy's Charlie Hoult and David Pollock of Chess.
Previous award winners include Richard Caudwell, Richard Branson, James Dyson and Philip Green.
With a unanimous decision from the judges they commented: "The scale of Steve's achievement to date, as well as his commanding knowledge of an emerging sector, massively impressed the judges; here is a man whose formidable track record to date could be just the starting point".
Speaking after his win, Leach commented: "This is fantastic: to win one award was a real triumph for the bigmouth team, but to complete the hat-trick is incredible.
"It's also great to see the vibrant Scottish business scene getting the recognition it deserves".
The win completes a remarkable hat-trick for Leach: earlier this month he secured the coveted Entrepreneur of the Year title at the National Business Awards and the National Business Awards for Scotland in the same category in September.
