Rich Felisia

Rich Felisia is a 30-year-old Rotterdammer. He has been working at the Expertisecentrum Maatschappelijke Innovatie (EMI) since January 2022, after a six-year career as an event manager and completing an event management course at MBO level 4. The birth of his son Mason prompted Rich to turn his life around, because his work in the events industry at night was incompatible with his new role as a father. He took on the role of project officer within the Daddy’s Place programme at EMI, where he uses his strong communication skills as an expert by experience. He is the driving force behind an online and offline platform specially designed for young fathers who are looking for support, information and motivation. Rich also hosts meetings that provide opportunities for young fathers to share experiences and learn from each other’s challenges and successes in fatherhood. His passion lies in making connections, generating impact, and constantly learning and sharing inspiring stories.
