About

Felix founded Doctor Pathways Australia. Doctor Pathways Australia is owned by KXN Ventures. Our guides are written independently, and no one pays to appear on Doctor Pathways Australia.

He has spent his career in highly regulated sectors. He is an executive at Ausgrid, the Sydney electricity network operator. Before that he was a strategy consultant at Arthur D. Little and worked across energy (E.ON), mobility (Volkswagen's Elli) and insurance and investment (Allianz), after starting in high-performance scientific computing. He completed his PhD in Physics (energy systems) at the University of Sydney, where he now holds an honorary appointment in the School of Physics.

Felix migrated himself to Australia, which means navigating AHPRA, AMC, and 19AB regulation is not abstract for him — he knows the pattern-recognition problem of working out an opaque regulated system from the outside. That is the gap Doctor Pathways Australia tries to close.
