Alix King, MBA
Chief Strategy Officer
Driven by results, Alix’s career has focused on understanding how organizations succeed at scale and on applying leadership where it strengthens and sustains that success as growth accelerates. That perspective has shaped her work at RELYANT, where performance‑driven expansion has required deliberate positioning, sound judgment, and long‑term thinking.
Alix joined RELYANT in 2012 and has worked across nearly every functional area of the company as it evolved from a smaller contingency contractor into a globally active organization supporting U.S. government missions. Her experience spans strategy, contracts, capture and business development, compliance, negotiations, and organizational growth—providing a broad view of how capability, mission, and execution intersect.
As Chief Strategy Officer, Alix focuses on how RELYANT positions itself for sustainable growth. Her responsibilities include market analysis, opportunity selection, teaming and partnership strategy, contracting pathways, and enterprise‑level readiness to pursue work aligned with mission requirements, demonstrated capability, and customer expectations. Her role is centered on helping the company make disciplined choices about where and how it engages as the federal acquisition environment continues to evolve.
Over the course of RELYANT’s expansion, Alix has supported efforts that contributed to significant portfolio growth and geographic reach, including work across Africa, Europe, the Middle East, the Indo‑Pacific, and the Americas. RELYANT today supports mission requirements across five continents, operating in complex and austere environments that demand both technical capability and institutional discipline.
Alix holds an MBA and brings more than two decades of experience in federal contracting, compliance and organizational leadership. She is a graduate of local community Leadership programs and has been recognized for her professional contributions within the East Tennessee business community, receiving the distinctive honor of being named East Tennessee’s 40 under 40, Class of 2020.
Outside of her professional work, Alix is focused on family life and values time spent traveling.
