A Fractional Chief AI Officer, accountable for getting AI right.

Senior AI leadership on an ongoing, part-time basis — a CAIO’s judgment in your leadership meetings regularly, accountable for the direction, without a full-time executive hire.

A consultant recommends; a fractional CAIO is in the room and accountable. It’s ongoing ownership of the AI direction and its execution, month to month — not a project that ends with a report.

A standing monthly rhythm scoped to your needs — leadership sessions, vendor/build calls on demand, team mentoring, and a month-end read. Ongoing, but never lock-in.

Scoped to your needs on a fixed monthly basis — or part of the CEO AI Program. You get a straight number after a short conversation, never open-ended billing.

Claude-native — strongest where judgment matters — but pragmatic across your stack. You own everything we build. How we build it →

Yes — fractional Chief AI Officer, fractional head of AI, and fractional AI director all describe the same arrangement: senior AI leadership on a part-time, fixed-scope basis. Whatever the title, the test is the same: someone in your leadership meetings who owns the AI direction and answers for its execution, without the cost or risk of a full-time executive hire.

The signals are consistent: leadership expects you to have an AI answer and you don't; pilots are running but nothing connects to the P&L; every vendor pitch sounds equally convincing; someone senior spends nights becoming an amateur AI researcher. If two or more of those sound familiar, you need AI leadership — the fractional question is just how much of it.

When you need senior AI judgment now, but not forty hours of it a week. A full-time head of AI is a significant hire most mid-market companies don't need yet — and can't easily evaluate. A fractional CAIO gives you the judgment and the accountability on a fixed monthly scope, with no lock-in if your needs change.

Sits in your leadership meetings, owns the AI direction, and is accountable for its execution — what to buy, what to build, what to kill, and in what order. Not a detached advisor who emails a memo: a named member of your leadership rhythm who answers for whether AI is actually moving your numbers.
