Join David Mansilla as he interviews Ron Felix, the CEO and President of Moeller Aerospace, a company that manufactures high-precision components for gas turbine engines in commercial, military, and space applications.
Ron shares his incredible 40-year journey in aerospace and the unique challenges of leading a company built on 100% reliability. Discover the leadership mindset required to thrive in an industry where products last decades and the focus is on execution over rapid growth.
In this episode, you will learn:
- The Industry’s Longevity: Why an average engine serial number flies for 25 to 40 years.
- Limits of Innovation: Ron's take on why commercial jet engine technology is reaching its physics limits, pushing the focus to alternate fuels and military hypersonics.
- The Toughest Problem: Why the biggest business problems are "usually human generated," often resulting from selfish economics and a fear of confronting the truth.
- Courageous Leadership: How Ron approaches challenges by eliminating politics and "betting that I could do this" at the risk of personal loss.
- The Billboard Message: Ron's single, most critical piece of advice for success in any field: "Believe in yourself".
