About Felix

Leadership, to me, isn’t about status or titles, but about the audacity to innovate and the unwavering resolve to uplift others. I believe in redefining the impact sector from a mere act of charity into an unapologetic catalyst for sustainable wealth creation—ensuring our collective efforts close the gap that sidelines too many communities from the opportunities of tomorrow. By breaking cycles of dependency, we empower individuals to become active participants in their own prosperity, sparking enduring growth that transcends generations and underscores the transformative power of innovation and empathy.

Felix Spies is deeply committed to advancing education and supporting community growth. As the CEO of the Siyafunda Education Foundation (SEF), which he founded in 2018, Felix focuses on managing a portfolio of initiatives with the Education and community development spaces that align with key UN Sustainable Development Goals. Through SEF, he has built meaningful partnerships that extend deep within rural South Africa to provide accessible, accredited STEM resources in both online and in person formats, all aimed at empowering young minds and communities.

In his role as the founder of Catalyst Consultancy, Felix brings a thoughtful approach to guiding organizations within the Impact sector. His work, whether in developing strategic partnerships and unlocking philanthropy or ensuring compliance and sustainability, is always centered on understanding and meeting the unique needs of his stakeholders.
