Félix Bélisle-Dockrill is the co-founder of Axya. With a background in mechanical engineering, Félix co-founded Axya in 2019. Having worked at Bombardier in supplier quality control, he witnessed first-hand the complexities of dealing with suppliers and managing global supply chains.

Since then, Axya has connected its network over 450+ buyers to 250+ local Axya suppliers specialized in metalworking parts. They have enabled numerous companies to localize portions of their global supply chains and mitigate the impacts of worldwide production delays— especially those caused by the unprecedented circumstances of the past year.

Axya is now a team of 30+ employees working from anywhere in the world. Aim to be data-driven and multifaceted in my management approach, and Félix is constantly looking for ways to improve his leadership and lifelong learner skills.

He was swimming at a competitive level while studying, and he did martial arts my whole life. Before launching his first business, he opened a martial arts school and taught for one year. He runs around 40km a week to stay in shape, and he looks forward to training again with partners.
