Hal Dillon’s Expertise I am a dynamic and innovative technology executive with extensive experience in Ad Tech, Media & Entertainment, and Software Engineering. With a passion for developing emotionally intelligent talent, I lead teams to excel in today's modern hybrid work environment. The world of work has evolved, and I prioritize coaching emotional intelligence (EQ) to ensure my teams are not just technically proficient but also equipped to thrive in this new landscape. As a Global Software Engineering Leader, I specialize in transforming the Ad Tech landscape through the development of cutting-edge technical talent. My deep domain expertise in AdTech and Media & Entertainment allows me to drive data-driven and audience-focused solutions for buying and selling advertising. At Cadent, I am accountable for Activation Engineering, overseeing SSP, DSP, Ad Enablement, and Linear+ products, as well as the entire software development lifecycle. I also lead Technical Operations, managing creative and traffic operations, ensuring seamless content distribution. My leadership has transformed Cadent Ad Tech Media Services into a modern, cloud-first technology stack, supported by a highly skilled and relevant software engineering team. I also spearheaded the creation of a Software Operations Center of Excellence (CoE) that leverages best-of-breed xOps, Cloud Operations/Engineering, and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) patterns. Previously, at Paramount (Viacom & Paramount Pictures), I led the transformation of the global content supply chain into a cloud-based solution, driving significant efficiencies for media operations teams. My experience includes consolidating and managing a global team of 120+ engineers across diverse areas such as program scheduling, content and media asset management, linear and OTT distribution, ML/data, experience management/personalization, and international linear traffic products. I am committed to delivering innovative technical solutions that enhance content distribution opportunities, achieving faster time to market at lower margins while fostering a culture of continuous improvement and operational excellence.
