Fractional Chief AI Officer

Senior AI leadership without the $400K hire.

Embedded leadership — typically 1 to 3 days per week — to set strategy, hire the team, run the program, and report to the board. Best fit for mid-market companies and PE portcos that need senior thinking now and a permanent leader later.

6-month minimum, evergreen
$20K–$50K / month

Who it’s for

Is this you?

CEOs and boards of $100M–$1B revenue companies, and PE-backed portcos, where a full-time CAIO isn't yet justified but the work can't wait.

  • You don't yet have a full-time AI leader
  • Your board is asking AI questions you can't answer in-house
  • You'd rather have a senior partner than three junior consultants
