Ms. Felix brings to Sotera the knowledge she has gained from 20 years of experience as a financial professional in the government services and technology sectors. Her outstanding career includes serving as Controller of two private equity-backed companies, Deltek, Inc. and Vangent, Inc.  During her tenure with those organizations, Ms. Felix took Deltek through an initial public offering and helped Vangent secure a successful sale to General Dynamics.   

As Vice President and Corporate Controller for Vangent, Ms. Felix was retained in the General Dynamics/Vangent merger for a corporate position where she took on the role of Financial Planning Director in charge of all mergers & acquisition (M&A) for General Dynamic's largest and most acquisitive business segment, IS&T, with over $11 billion in technology and services revenue.  She is well versed in leading financial operations improvements, including financial systems and complex M&A integrations.

While serving as Vice President of Finance at Deltek, she built and directed the company's accounting and finance support functions. Throughout her career, Ms. Felix has established herself as a leader in developing and implementing best-in-class processes to help her organization achieve exceptional accounting, financial planning and analysis, budgeting, forecasting and dash-boarding. She has also demonstrated her ability to serve as a positive change agent in organizations and, during her time at American Management Systems (AMS), Ms. Felix successfully transformed a very decentralized finance organization into one cohesive unit.  Early in her career, Ms. Felix spent 8 years with the public accounting firm Deloitte & Touche working with high growth technology companies.
