Srini Attili

Executive Vice President, Civilian Business Group, SAIC

Srini Attili’s biggest recent achievement has been strengthening the resilience and discipline of the business during a period of peak ambiguity.

“We made deliberate choices about where to focus and where not to, prioritizing mission relevance, execution certainty, and long-term value over short-term optics,” Attili said. In turn, this approach protected economics, reinforced accountability and positioned the business to grow with confidence.

SAIC also remains aligned with the administration’s priorities by helping agencies reduce cost, streamline operations and improve efficiency through disciplined execution. That includes modernizing enterprise IT, scaling repeatable mission capabilities and applying AI to automate routine work so talent can focus on higher-value outcomes. “The objective is reliable delivery that earns trust and delivers measurable results,” Attili said.

Why Watch

In 2026, Attili and his team are focused on helping government clients deliver outcomes with greater speed, reliability and efficiency under sustained constraint. They are scaling enterprise and mission IT capabilities that can be reused and replicated, while applying AI to improve productivity and bend the cost curve.

The emphasis is client-led execution — solving priority mission problems, not pursuing solutions in search of demand. “Fall in love with your client’s problems — not your own solutions. That’s how you earn trust, maintain relevance, and deliver outcomes that endure,” said Attili.

Fun Fact: Attili closely follows the startup, venture and private equity ecosystem — particularly how emerging technologies move from promise to operating leverage. He’s interested less in the technology itself and more in how leaders translate innovation into disciplined execution.
