Jaime Raul Zepeda is a leadership strategist and workplace culture expert who has spent more than 15 years helping organizations navigate change and build resilient, high-performing teams. As Executive Vice President at Best Companies Group, Jaime works with over 4,000 companies each year to assess culture, strengthen engagement, and prepare leaders to thrive in uncertain times.

Jaime’s expertise blends cutting-edge research with lived experience. He has helped identify the 100 Best Companies to Work For in partnership with Fortune, guided Fortune 500 leaders through culture transformations, and trained thousands of managers on how to lead with clarity, empathy, and adaptability. His leadership philosophy is rooted in neuroscience, psychology, and practical rituals—bridging the gap between what research shows and what managers can actually apply on Monday morning.

A graduate of UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, Jaime has been featured in leading HR and business publications for his insights on manager effectiveness, change leadership, and employee fulfillment.

With a personal mission to help leaders build workplaces where people grow, not just “get through the week,” Jaime created the Change-Ready Leadership course to give managers the tools to stay calm, credible, and effective in the face of disruption. He believes that when managers model resilience and adaptability, they don’t just steady their teams—they unlock performance and trust that lasts well beyond the change event.
