Jeremy Fielding

Jeremy Fielding’s team at Kekst handled the most epic, tragically New York bankruptcy in a year full of them: Century 21, which shuttered its stores after 60 years. His firm, owned by Publicis, also managed the biggest special-purpose acquisition deal in history with client United Wholesale Mortgage. Speaking of size, Fielding and crew also supported Softbank on the biggest semiconductor deal to date, a $40 billion acquisition of Nvidia. Fielding himself has had to staff up Kekst’s NYC office; double-digit revenue growth this year has meant 12 new employees. Fielding himself has earned a reputation as one of the industry’s most sought-after counselors for what the industry likes to call “special situations.” Plus, he rocks a suit and sneakers like no one else.
