Caylent Welcomes Valerie Henderson as New CEO to Propel AI Innovations Forward

Caylent, an esteemed AWS Premier Tier Services Partner, has recently appointed Valerie Henderson as its new Chief Executive Officer. This strategic move is designed to elevate the company's mission of transitioning towards AI-centric services, fundamentally rethinking how organizations function and increase their value through Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Henderson, who previously held the roles of President and Chief Revenue Officer at Caylent, is expected to steer the company into an exciting and transformative era. Under her decisive leadership, Caylent is not just delivering cloud projects but is focused on developing intelligent systems designed to perpetually increase value. This shift encompasses various key areas such as migration and modernization, advanced data analytics, generative AI solutions, managed services, and a wide array of agentic enablement offerings.

Expressing her enthusiasm, Henderson remarked, "I am incredibly honored to step into this role and lead Caylent into what I believe will be the most transformative chapter in our history. We have built something truly special – a team of world-class technologists and an unrivaled partnership with AWS, combined with a first-of-its-kind agentic delivery model that is redefining what a services partner can be. Our customers trust us to solve their hardest problems, and I am committed to raising the bar every single day for them, for our team, and for our partners."

Henderson's appointment occurs at a crucial moment as the industry witnesses a rapid evolution towards AI methodologies in service delivery. During her tenure as President and CRO, Canted experienced a remarkable revenue growth of over five-fold and strategically acquired Trek10, thereby enhancing its stature as the most comprehensive dedicated AWS services partner. The company also introduced Caylent Accelerate™, a groundbreaking agentic engineering system capable of modernizing applications, databases, and cloud platforms more efficiently through agent-driven workflows. Furthermore, Caylent has achieved notable accolades including ten AWS Partner of the Year awards, solidifying its reputation and commitment to excellence in various sectors such as GenAI, Migration, and Security.

Lori Williams, the outgoing CEO, conveyed her excitement regarding Henderson’s appointment, stating, "Val is an extraordinary leader, and I couldn't be more excited about this next chapter for Caylent. The foundation we've built together through our people, our culture, our deep AWS expertise, and our commitment to innovation is stronger than ever. Val's vision, relentless drive, and genuine care for customers and employees make her the perfect leader to take Caylent forward."

Joining Caylent in June 2021 as Chief Revenue Officer and ascending to President by January 2023, Henderson brings nearly two decades of rich experience in the tech industry. Her prior accolades stem from her successful endeavors in scaling go-to-market strategies and forging potent partnerships within the cloud services landscape. She holds a degree from Vanderbilt University, further complementing her robust professional background.
