What we own for you
- AI portfolio leadership: selecting, sequencing and governing AI pilots so each one has an owner, a budget and a kill date.
- Operating cadence: weekly priorities, monthly business reviews and executive scorecards that run on real data.
- Cross-functional programs: finance, revenue, partner and customer operations initiatives that need one accountable lead.
- Vendor and build decisions: platform selection, contract terms and the integration plan with your systems.
- Board and investor reporting: clear AI and operating progress, reported as built versus running.
How the engagement works
- Week 1 to 2: assessment of priorities, people and data, and a 90-day plan agreed with the CEO.
- Week 3 onward: weekly leadership cadence, pilot governance and monthly executive reporting.
- Quarter end: results review, roadmap reset and a decision on whether to extend, scale down or hand over to a full-time hire.
When fractional is the right choice
When you need senior AI and operations leadership now, the full-time role is not yet justified, or you want the function designed and running before you hire into it. We help recruit and onboard the permanent leader when the time comes.
Frequently asked questions
What does a fractional Chief AI Officer do?
Sets the AI strategy and priorities, governs pilots and risk, chooses vendors, and makes sure AI work changes how the business actually operates. Our model combines this with fractional COO responsibilities so AI and operations are led together.
How many days per week is a fractional engagement?
Typically two to three days per week on a monthly retainer, adjusted quarterly.
Can you help us hire a full-time leader later?
Yes. We define the role, support the search and onboard the hire with a documented operating model.
