That depends to some extent on precisely what you mean by "led." Robert Oppenheimer was the scientific head of the project; the military head of the project (and Oppenheimer's clear superior in the organizational chart) was General Leslie Groves.
Under Oppenheimer, the scientists were arranged into various teams, each headed by a different scientist. (At one time, one person was the head of two different teams ... he joked that, since the secrecy rules prevented unauthorized communication between teams, he needed to seek approval in order to talk to himself.)

It was not a practical bomb as it used cryogenic liquid deuterium-tritium and required a refrigeration system larger than itself to keep it cold.The first practical "hydrogen" bomb was developed by a team at Arzamas-16 in the USSR in 1953. It used dry lithium deuteride, however did not use staging like the 1952 US bomb did so its yield was limited. It was likely done mostly for propaganda purposes. In modern terminology it would be considered a dry boosted fission bomb, not a fusion (hydrogen) bomb.The first practical staged hydrogen bomb was developed by a team at Los Alamos, NM in 1954. It used dry lithium deuteride.The second practical staged hydrogen bomb was developed by a team at Arzamas-16 in the USSR in 1955.
