Naimuri has promoted its head of delivery Alice Spreckley to managing director.
She has been part of the senior leadership team at Naimuri since it was founded in 2015 and has taken over the reins from Carl Roberts.
Naimuri was acquired in 2020 by QinetiQ for £25m and has doubled its headcount from 70 to 140.
Spreckley said: “Naimuri really is a special place to work and having been part of the business since 2015, I am delighted to take up the role of managing director and support the business on its next stage of growth.
“Our mission, the impact of our work and the amazing people we employ, are what truly make Naimuri unique.
“Over the last few years we have widened our customer portfolio, winning new work in government and law enforcement and supporting deliveries in wider QinetiQ.

“We have also been running our own events to bring together our tech and academic partners and customers and to facilitate innovation; which have all contributed to the growth of the business.
“Carl has done an amazing job and will be missed by all, but I look forward to leading Naimuri in its next chapter”.
James Willis, chief executive of UK Intelligence, the business sector that includes Naimuri at QinetiQ, said: “Alice has been with Naimuri since its early days and it’s testament to the strength of the business that she was able to step up to the MD role rather than have to go externally for a new leader.
“Her experience leading delivery at Naimuri for its customers within that fast-growing market means she is the perfect person to lead Naimuri and continue their success. I wish her every success in this role.”
