A rapidly growing technology solutions company will invest $ 1.75 million in Fairfax County expansion and create 162 jobs, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam announced today.

Ridgeline International Inc. provides technology solutions for the federal government, commerce, and nonprofits. The expansion aims to improve the ability to deliver security solutions.

Ridgeline was founded in 2015 and has more than 200 employees. It was one of 15 technology companies in Virginia to land on Deloitte’s 26th annual North America Technology Fast 500 ranking in November. The company posted fiscal year revenue growth of 588% from 2016 to 2019.

“With headquarters in Virginia, Ridgeline can draw on an extensive pipeline of highly qualified applicants and gain direct access to our target markets,” said Erik Wittreich, CEO of Ridgeline, in a statement.

The expansion was supported by the Virginia Jobs Investment Program of the Virginia Economic Development Partnership in association with the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority.

“The company is a perfect fit for the mission-driven IT ecosystem that thrives here and will benefit from the workforce that makes Northern Virginia and the Washington, DC area one of the greatest centers of technical talent,” said the President of Fairfax County Economic Development Authority and CEO Victor Hoskins said in a statement.
