Candice Faktor AI speaker and thought leader

Helping Leaders Thrive in an AI-Driven World.

I’m Candice Faktor. Founder. CEO. Speaker. Investor. Cutting through the noise on how to unlock human potential in the age of AI.

Unlocking Human Potential in the Age of AI

I'm the Co-Founder and CEO of Disco, an AI-native, human-first learning platform, and a speaker focused on one of the defining questions of our time: as AI transforms how we work and learn, how do we unlock human potential rather than diminish it?

I've spent my career building at the frontier. I scaled Wattpad to 120M+ users and a ~$1B acquisition, and today I'm building Disco to help organizations grow the human capabilities that matter most in the age of intelligence. I also invest as a Venture Partner at Lobby Capital and served on the boards of Coveo and DreamBox Learning.

On stage, I help leaders and audiences cut through the AI noise to focus on what actually matters: the mindset shifts, ai tooling, learning systems, and ways of working that turn this moment of uncertainty into one of the greatest opportunities for human growth we've ever had.
