About Chris Felix

Tough, but fair leadership grounded in deep consultative listening underpins my executive success inthe wireless / wireline telecom + technology sectors. As a result, I’ve cultivated 5 mission-focusedGovernment teams into high-performing sales engines fueling multimillions of dollars in revenue.Over my career, I’ve managed $100K to $2.8B budgets, as well as small teams and 2K+ employeeorganizations. I’ve also been at the helm of marketplace evolvements: 9 M & As, promotions,transformations, etc. including a herculean infrastructure rebuild.In my most recent role as VP, Government Sales / Operations for Frontier Communications, Ileveraged my listen-first hands-on leadership to rebuild a fractured Government organization bycoalescing 3 disparate teams into a unified growth culture focused on customer satisfaction. As aresult, we achieved: 153% to quota (2025) by winning >8 contracts/partnerships in less than 2 years.An acuity for identifying and hiring experienced A-team talent with a finger on the pulse of customerneeds—Serving Those Who Serve—has driven growth and visibility across a multiplicity of roles. As aresult, we delivered:$12M new revenue in <2 years after restoring credibility with 911 center directors on the heels ofthe 911 Data Center business’ abrupt shutdown in 2024.(Frontier Communications) Highly visibility Government sales team that competed nationally with larger carriers throughexceptional service to those who serve.(Kajeet)Further anchoring my transformational leadership is the propulsion of negatively trending revenue toachieve six-figure-million$$ revenue results (Verizon). In the Federal government space, where thingsoften get measured in decades, not years, I broke the performance mold by … Profitably growing the business with 70K new subscribers in the time it would typically take just toget an appointment.Moreover, I … Delivered $2.7B EBITDA after invigorating performance and a low customer trajectory crushingprior performance records.(Verizon)Investing as much energy + time in the field with customers and employees as I do behind my desk,I’ve built a network of loyal allies. Never ‘pushing anything off to staff,’ I prove that day-in-day-outwhatever needs to be done, I am willing to pitch in.My sincere desire is to catch employees doing something good – this passion for my employees\'success is reciprocated by their active desire to do better for me; and, as a result, for the company.Connections welcome via: c••••••••@gmail.com.
