REI Systems has a new head of mission enablement and innovation — and promoted from within to fill it.
Indunil Ranaviraja steps into the newly created enterprise leadership role after over a decade at the firm, most recently running the Mission Optimization Services business unit, where she built REI’s advisory services practice and held it through 2025.
The role focuses on connecting mission insight to customer engagement earlier in the process — identifying what federal agencies actually need before it becomes a problem to solve after the fact.
Ranaviraja won the 2025 Women in Technology Leadership Award and is known for pairing delivery performance with long-term customer relationships.
“I’m honored to step into this role at a time when the need for meaningful, mission-focused innovation has never been greater,” she said. “This role presents an exciting opportunity to build on REI’s strong delivery excellence foundation. By understanding our customers’ evolving needs and translating those insights into scalable, impactful solutions, I look forward to working across our teams and with our partners to ensure we collectively drive lasting value.”
