RIVA Solutions has been named a 2026 Elev8[X] Award Winner by OrangeSlices AI in the category Trusted Growth Architects: Building Teams, Leaders, and Companies That Last. Elev8[X] represents the highest level of recognition within the Elev8 program, honoring a select group of companies that demonstrate exceptional leadership, strong culture, and consistent mission execution across the federal contracting community.
More than 1,200 companies were nominated, evaluated, and rated through a combination of peer, employee, customer, and partner input—providing a comprehensive, experience-based view of leadership and performance. From this field, Elev8[X] winners emerged as the highest-rated organizations across leadership, culture, and execution, consistently earning trust from those they work with most closely.
“Trust is the foundation of everything we do at RIVA,” said Jenny Bonner, COO of RIVA Solutions. “This award reflects the confidence our customer and industry partners place in us to deliver consistently, reliably, and with purpose. We’re honored to stand alongside such remarkable companies and grateful to OrangeSlices AI for this recognition. It’s a direct result of our people, our culture, and our commitment to doing the right thing—even in the most complex environments.”
Unlike recognitions based on a single achievement, Elev8[X] highlights organizations that perform consistently over time. RIVA’s selection reflects its ability to translate strong leadership and culture into measurable results—delivering on complex modernization efforts while maintaining high standards of accountability and execution in mission-critical environments.
The award was announced at the Elev8[X] Awards Event held on April 10 at the Round House Theatre in Bethesda, Maryland.
