I speak on topics at the intersection of leadership, technology, and entrepreneurship — drawing on 22 years of military service and my experience building data infrastructure from the ground up.
My talks are practical, grounded in real experience, and designed to leave audiences with frameworks they can apply immediately — not abstractions, but operational tools forged under pressure.
What makes it different
Military discipline meets founder instinct. Every engagement is built around your audience's specific challenges — whether that's a leadership offsite, a technology summit, or a startup accelerator.
Speaking Topics
Four Areas of Deep Expertise
Each topic draws from lived experience — not theoretical frameworks. Felix brings operational credibility and strategic clarity to every stage.
Leadership & Operational Excellence
Building disciplined, high-performing teams. How to create cultures of accountability, execute under pressure, and lead through complexity — drawing from military and executive experience.
AI & Emerging Technology
Practical frameworks for leaders navigating an AI-driven world. How to separate hype from reality, build AI-ready teams, and make strategic technology decisions that compound over time.
User-Owned Data & the Future of the Internet
Why the current data economy is broken, what user-owned infrastructure looks like, and how brands and individuals both win when trust and transparency are built into the system.
Veteran Entrepreneurship
Lessons from the transition from military service to startup founder. How military discipline, systems thinking, and mission orientation translate directly to building companies that last.
