Newark-based Telos Advisers has appointed Felicia Alexander as a senior director.
Alexander is a former deputy assistant secretary at the U.S. Department of Transportation and is recognized as a subject matter expert in infrastructure pre-development and capital funding strategy.
As a deputy assistant secretary, she worked on national initiatives focused on mobility, safety, and economic competitiveness. She also held senior leadership roles at the Federal Transit Administration and the Federal Highway Administration.
One key accomplishment was her leadership role overseeing the Federal Transit Administration’s Capital Investment Grants Program, the federal government’s primary funding source for major transit expansion and modernization projects nationwide.
Earlier in her career, she managed $5.4 billion as deputy director and division chief at the Maryland State Highway Administration.
She is the latest in Telos’s string of hiring leading transportation executives. Former Federal Transit Administration Associate Administrator for Program Management Bruce Robinson joined the firm in 2025. Last month, Telos brought on former Amtrak CEO Stephen Gardner to its Strategic Advisory Board.
