Professional Bio
James D. Feldman not only demystifies AI but also shows how leaders can effectively leverage it to reduce friction, increase revenue, improve service, and deliver measurable ROI.
With a wealth of experience as a keynote speaker, AI implementation strategist, and author of the Shift Happens!® books, James has dedicated decades to inspiring organizations to discover innovative ways of thinking "inside the box." He brings his talks to life by incorporating licensed movie and television scenes that truly resonate with and engage his audiences.
His unique frameworks—3D Thinking™, D•A•T•I•N•G Your Customers®, and the AI Sauce philosophy ("a little enhances everything, too much ruins it")—turn curiosity into action and action into revenue. Through SOAR Academy, he partners with associations, corporations, and the hospitality and MICE sectors to craft practical AI strategies that boost outcomes.
Incentive Magazine recognized him as one of the 100 Most Innovative People of the 21st Century, alongside Google and Dell founders.
He is also inducted into the Virtual Speakers Hall of Fame.
Based in Chicago, James contributes monthly columns to Corporate Incentive Travel and The Meeting Magazines (Worth Media) and publishes the 3D Thinking Using AI Sauce and Thinkruptcy Newsletters.
