CARLYNE Candayce Stewart is a Guyanese executive leader, operations strategist and customer experience professional serving as Managing Director and Chief Experience Officer (CXO) of Clarke’s Productions Inc.
In this role, she integrates executive leadership, operations, finance and customer experience to drive organisational excellence, sustainable growth and measurable impact across the private and public sectors.
A graduate of the University of Guyana (UG) with a background in public management, Carlyne has built a distinguished career spanning frontline customer service, financial management, operations and public-sector administration.
Her leadership is defined by a commitment to continuous improvement, innovation and developing systems that enhance performance, strengthen organisational culture and deliver exceptional client experiences.
At Clarke’s Productions Inc., Carlyne leads the organisation’s customer experience strategy, financial management, operational systems and business development initiatives.
She oversees the planning and execution of high-impact training programmes in leadership, customer service excellence, budgeting, team building, workplace performance and organisational development.
Guided by her personal mantra, “No Opportunity Wasted,” she cultivates a culture of accountability, excellence, innovation and purposeful growth.
Carlyne is also the Lead Organiser of Beyond the Wheels 2.0, a Transportation and Safety Forum, slated for October 6 and 7 at the ACCC.
The forum focuses on advancing road safety, transport leadership, workplace wellness, and sustainable mobility.
Recognised for her meticulous planning and operational discipline, she is known for “building the room before opening the door”, creating the strategic partnerships, systems and stakeholder engagement necessary for successful, high-impact initiatives.
She has consistently championed the importance of mental health within the transport sector, including through Clarke’s Productions Inc.’s men’s mental health programme, which encourages open dialogue, resilience and the reduction of stigma surrounding men’s emotional well-being.
Beyond her corporate leadership, Carlyne serves as Secretary of the Women’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry Guyana (WCCIG) for 2025, the Caribbean’s only women’s chamber of commerce.
In this capacity, she contributes to corporate governance, strategic planning, stakeholder engagement and organisational development, helping to advance WCCIG’s mission of empowering women entrepreneurs, strengthening strategic partnerships and increasing women’s participation in Guyana’s expanding economy.
Passionate about leadership, service excellence and community development, Carlyne continues to inspire individuals, youths (through our yearly First Aid/CPR programme for children) and organisations to achieve operational excellence, embrace innovation and transform opportunities into lasting impact.
Carlyne grew up in Agricola and attended St. Ann’s Nursery School and Christ Church Secondary School.
She always had a passion for helping others and became active in church activities and the choir, which brought her great joy.
Even though she did not grow up with her parents, she was raised in an extended family setting and, after writing her CXC examinations, pursued studies in accounting.
While studying for the ACCA, she got a job, married, and moved to Berbice, where she attended the University of Guyana and successfully pursued management studies.
Carlyne, however, got a job at Guyana Water Inc., where she spent 15 years working her way up from a data entry clerk to an acting manager before resigning and moving into a different field.
She later partnered with her husband, Adrian Clarke, who founded Clarke’s Productions, a consultancy company focused on training and capacity building.
One of the areas of focus is defensive driving, an area that was previously untapped, and they took advantage of the opportunity to launch their driving training programme.
“As a child, I was part of the road safety unit in school, so I was familiar with it. I was in a road accident that made me develop a passion for road safety on a wider scope and, in any room I enter, I try to encourage persons that safe driving starts with them. Practise safety to arrive alive on our roads,” she said.
They also recognised the need for mental health training among men, and a course was developed to address that area within their business.
With her love for children, Carlyne also launched their in-house life-saving First Aid and CPR training programme primarily for children, and like-minded persons can sponsor a child for that training, which is expected to be fully utilised.
