When asked about his new role with AITC, Ravelo says, "Retiring from my position with PEO STRI was a very hard decision to make and an emotional event.  For almost fifteen years, it has been both an honor and a privilege to serve in an organization that supports the U.S. Army. I'm now looking forward to starting this new chapter in my life with a company that shares my values and commitment to supporting our warfighters."

Also joining the AITC leadership team is Wells Barlow, serving as senior program manager.
