@cececandler
Delivery Director with 20+ years leading AI-enabled, revenue-generating enterprise programs.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m an AI Delivery and Execution leader with 20+ years delivering complex, revenue-generating platforms at Fortune 100 scale, where ambiguity, constraints, and moving requirements are the norm. I lead multiple teams and products to consistently drive outcomes—especially when risk, dependency management, and executive alignment matter most.
I’ve led $100M+ monetization initiatives across advertising technology, analytics, large scale enterprise systems, and AI-assisted workflows. I’m a trusted partner to executives navigating AI adoption, implementation risk, organizational change, and the practical realities of shipping responsible, high-impact systems.
In product and program leadership, I’ve owned delivery of enterprise BI, data migrations, and compliance initiatives—ensuring CCPA and regulatory alignment for $1B+ business units. I also delivered Emmy-winning Pause Ads technology, improving ad yield by 30% and generating more than $10M in new revenue.
Most recently, as a Founder/COO, I’m operationally owning end-to-end delivery for enterprise and public-sector engagements and architecting custom enterprise and Government Technology (GovTech) assessments. I define responsible AI guardrails and human-in-the-loop patterns, design and validate LLM-enabled workflows, and conduct hands-on model evaluation, prompt design, and agentic systems testing to create repeatable delivery systems that accelerate time-to-market.
