Fractional Chief AI Officer
An AI executive on your leadership team, without the full-time seat.
A part-time, retained AI executive for firms that want AI leadership without a full-time hire: sets the AI strategy, owns the governance and compliance posture, and steers pilots into production instead of letting them die in demo. Delivered at 1 to 1.5 days per week on a monthly retainer.
BEST FIT
Regulated firms where AI decisions are being made ad hoc - tools adopted without governance, pilots stalling, the board asking questions nobody owns. Big enough to need the role, not big enough to hire it full time.
NOT FOR
Firms looking for general IT consulting or a fractional CTO or CIO. This role owns AI strategy and governance specifically - it is not a general technology seat.
How It Works
How the engagement works.
Every phase ends with a decision you make: confirm the scope, approve the next checkpoint, or pause before new work begins.
Charter & Roadmap
The governance charter is written and the AI strategy and roadmap set - what the firm will and will not do with AI, and in what order.
Steer & Govern
A monthly steering session drives the roadmap. Pilots are moved into production or killed on evidence. The regulated-vertical AI policy pack is applied and kept current.
Report & Brief
Board briefings translate the program into business terms. The ROI readout shows what the AI investment returned, in numbers.
