Alicia Ryan
CEO
LSINC
How long have you and your family been in Huntsville?
We moved to Huntsville in 2004, and it didn’t take long for it to feel like home. We’ve built our life here and raised our family here, and this community gave me the confidence to take a leap of faith and start LSINC in April 2008. Huntsville has truly been the backdrop for some of the most meaningful milestones in my life, both personally and professionally.
Tell us about your team at LSINC and the work you do.
I have the privilege of working alongside an extraordinary team at LSINC — engineers, builders, and problem-solvers who embrace complex challenges with determination and creativity.
At a high level, we provide advanced engineering and product development services, including mission-focused work supporting intelligence and national security efforts. On the manufacturing side, we design and build industrial
direct-to-object printing systems — the Peri Series platforms — here in Huntsville. These systems allow customers to print full color directly onto objects, including cylindrical items, in a way that is precise, repeatable, and production-ready. At its core, our work is about building solutions that help other organizations perform at a higher level — and doing so with excellence and integrity.
You were instrumental in founding the Alabama School of Cyber Technology and Engineering (ASCTE) and continue to serve as president of the Foundation board. How are things going now?
It has been incredible to watch ASCTE grow. When the school opened in 2020, we had a bold vision. Seeing students now living that vision is deeply rewarding.
ASCTE is thriving. Students are excelling in an environment that blends cyber, engineering, and real-world exposure in a way that is unique in our state. From the Foundation side, we remain focused on ensuring the school has the partnerships, resources, and long-term support it needs to sustain that momentum. It’s also exciting to see continued campus growth. Education is about more than academics — we’re developing well-rounded young leaders prepared to contribute meaningfully to our workforce and community.
Tell us something about yourself that others might not know:
LSINC began in my living room. I had an idea, a vision, and a strong belief that with hard work and persistence, we could build something meaningful. We grew step by step from there. I’m also deeply passionate about encouraging young people — especially girls — to see themselves as leaders in STEM and business. Creating pathways and visibility for the next generation is something I will always prioritize.
What does LSINC gain from its involvement in HREGI?
For me, involvement with HREGI is about contributing to the larger story of our region. LSINC benefits by staying closely connected to Huntsville’s strategic priorities, economic development efforts, and fellow leaders shaping what comes next. When our community grows and prospers, local companies do as well.
