Welcome to Career Field Guide

Career Field Guide gives you the frameworks nobody taught you, built for a world where AI is rewriting the rules of who gets ahead.

Every Thursday, I publish practical frameworks and real-world advice to help you build a career that doesn’t stall, especially as AI reshapes who gets hired, promoted, and left behind.

Every article delivers practical frameworks and honest takes on building a career in the AI era. Drawn from 15+ years inside Amazon, Microsoft, and Starbucks and my current work advising Fortune 500 COOs.

About Me

I’m Justin Gillebo, Principal Researcher at Zero100, where I advise Fortune 500 COOs and Chief Supply Chain Officers on AI and operations strategy. Before that, I spent 15+ years in operations and technology leadership at Amazon, Microsoft, Starbucks, and UPS. I started my career loading trucks. I finished my MBA while working full-time and raising a family. That range from front line to executive insight is what CFG is built on. I serve on the board of Cascadia College Foundation and mentor graduate students at the University of Washington Foster School.
