The Problem

You’re Trying to Hire One Person to Do Twelve Jobs.

“60% of organizations now have a dedicated AI executive. Most can’t find or afford one.”

Companies are posting VP of AI, Chief AI Officer, and Head of AI roles at $250K–$400K+. The job description is always the same: develop strategy, evaluate vendors, build foundational capabilities, design pilots, deploy across enterprise systems, define KPIs, manage governance, recruit a team, report to the board, and stay current on a market that changes every week.

That’s not a person. That’s a department.

And even when you find that person, they spend 6 to 12 months ramping up — learning your systems, building relationships, hiring a team under them. By the time they’re operational, the market has moved past the strategy they were hired to execute.

What’s Included

What Fractional AI Leadership Actually Looks Like

Request a Consultation

AI Strategy Development

Unified strategy tied to business objectives. A roadmap with timelines, budgets, and measurable outcomes. Not a research project.

Vendor Evaluation

Build-vs-buy analysis informed by evaluations across multiple clients — not what one person used at their last company.

AI Readiness Assessment

Where your data, workflows, and teams are ready for AI — and where they aren’t. Honest and direct.

Implementation Oversight

We don’t hand you a strategy and leave. We build what we recommend — embedded with your team, not advising from the sidelines.

AI Governance Framework

Compliance, ethics, data privacy, and risk management — built in from the start, not bolted on after an incident.

Team Structure & Hiring

When you’re ready to hire permanently, we define the role, evaluate candidates, and onboard the right leader.

Board & Leadership Reporting

AI progress communicated clearly to non-technical stakeholders — translated, not simplified away.

Market Intelligence

We’re across multiple organizations every day — not stuck in the weeds of just one. You get cross-industry AI signal.

How It Works

Operational in Weeks. Not Months.

Step 01

2 hours

We Diagnose.

Your current state, your goals, where AI fits and where it doesn’t. We’ve seen this pattern before — we won’t waste your time on discovery theater.

Step 02

2–3 days

We Build the Roadmap.

Strategy, priorities, timelines, budgets. What to build first, what can wait, what you don’t need at all. Not a 200-page report.

Step 03

Ongoing

We Execute.

Embedded with your leadership team. Not advising from the sidelines. Making decisions, managing execution, delivering results.
