About Rick Felix

Leveraging a proud history of Project Management, subject matter expertise, innovation streams, and strategic leadership, I help Utility and Energy leaders tap into project management and project control best practices that deliver massive results.With an extensive and successful 20-year track record in Project Controls, Project Management, Strategic Leadership, Solution Design, and Custom Application Development, I\'ve helped industry leaders like Exelon, PECO Energy, System One, and AECOM set new standards in quality.From my early days as Project Engineer, Project Inspector, and Facilities Engineer for various large companies across New York, I learned how to apply an attention to detail and process analysis to identify opportunities for improvement. With extensive experience in software and database development, I looked at processes, strategies, and roadmaps holistically. I saw how all the pieces fit together and offered innovations and solutions that made them work better.These skills served me well in my previous role as Performance Assessment Manager for Exelon Utilities. From driving parallel project initiatives to successful completion in a timely and cost-effective manner to proudly serving as subject matter expert, go-to solutions developer, mentor, thought leader, and change agent, I ensure that everyone is on track and has the right tools. As a leader, I develop deep insight into staff personalities, talent, and cultural diversity to deliver the leadership that leverages skills, taps into motivators, and pushes staff to excel.At the end of the day, I am focused on identifying improvement opportunities and introducing the innovative solutions, cross-functional ideas, and sharp analysis that become the new best practices.I am on LinkedIn to build strategic relationships and explore exciting opportunities.Let\'s connect.

   As a seasoned expert, I provide governance and oversight for project controls across Exelon, ensuring disciplined resource planning, effective interdependency management, and strategic change adoption. Through close collaboration with stakeholders at all levels, I establish robust mechanisms to capture and realize the benefits from our investments, and institutionalize lessons learned to drive continuous improvement and adherence to standards across the portfolio.I drive the development and implementation of governance frameworks that enable Exelon to execute its strategic portfolio with discipline and transparency. By designing robust project controls and essential governance artifacts—such as resource management guidelines, interdependency dashboards, change-saturation heatmaps, benefits-realization trackers, and lessons-learned libraries—I ensure our teams have the tools and insights needed for effective planning and execution.
