I left home at 19 and moved to another country with no money, no safety net, and no plan.
What I had was an inner certainty that I was meant to build something meaningful.

Since then, I have navigated reinvention many times, across leadership roles, entrepreneurship, personal loss, burnout, and rebuilding from scratch. Those experiences shaped how I lead, how I listen, and how I guide others through change.

Today, I work at the intersection of leadership, human dynamics, and artificial intelligence.

I help leaders and organizations navigate transformation without losing trust, clarity, or their humanity.

I am the CEO of APEK.ai, where we build secure, enterprise-grade Agentic AI and voice solutions that modernize operations while humanizing communication. My work focuses on helping organizations adopt AI in ways that feel intelligent, responsible, and deeply human.

With over 20 years in enterprise transformation, leadership strategy, and reinvention, I bring a perspective that blends technology, psychology, and real-world leadership experience.

Who I Work With

• Executives and boards navigating AI-driven change
• Leaders in transition who look successful on paper but feel misaligned inside
• Organizations ready to evolve beyond legacy thinking and systems
• Founders and senior leaders preparing for their next chapter of impact

People usually come to me when change stops being theoretical and becomes personal.

What I Believe

AI will not replace leadership.
But it will expose it.

The future belongs to leaders who can combine intelligence with clarity, technology with trust, and innovation with humanity.

Most leaders don’t have a strategy problem.
They have an execution + alignment + truth problem.

The plan is strong.
But the work gets stuck.

Decisions slow down.
Teams get polite.
And momentum disappears.

Hi, I’m Jim Fielding.

I’m an executive advisor, bestselling author, and podcast host who helps senior leaders turn big goals into real traction—without losing their culture (or their soul) in the process.

Over the last 30+ years, I’ve helped build iconic brands and lead transformation at Disney, DreamWorks, and Fox,  with experience across retail, entertainment, media, and consumer experience. I’ve led billion-dollar businesses, scaled teams, and navigated the moments where leadership actually counts: change, pressure, uncertainty, and high expectations.

Here’s what I’ve learned:

Real growth doesn’t come from more decks, more meetings, or louder urgency.
It comes from clarity, sharp decisions, and leadership that people trust.

And I bring a mix that’s rare:
operator experience at the highest level + a clear point of view about belonging + a practical approach to execution.
Most people have one of those. Almost nobody has all three.

I advise leaders and organizations on how to:
• Turn strategy into traction
• Make faster, cleaner decisions
• Align teams without chaos or politics
• Build cultures where people tell the truth
• Raise performance through accountability and belonging

My work is grounded in a simple belief:
Radical Kindness isn’t soft. It’s strategic.
And just so we’re clear: I’m equal parts kindness and accountability. You’ll get both.

If you’re leading through a moment of change—and want an advisor who will help you move forward with confidence and momentum—let’s connect.

👉 Send a connection request with the word “Clarity”
and I’ll respond personally.

In community and conversation,
Jim
