The Team Behind The Title.
AI strategy, implementation, and governance — without waiting 12 months for a single hire to ramp up. You get an entire team that’s already done this at Harvard, Mass General, and the CDC.

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 ConsultationAI 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.
Why Not Just Hire a VP of AI?
Side by Side,
The Answer Is Obvious.
Common Questions
Everything You Need to Know
What's the difference between a fractional CTO and a consultant?
A consultant advises. A fractional CTO decides and executes. We sit inside your leadership team, attend strategy meetings, make build-vs-buy calls, manage vendors, oversee implementation, and report to the board. We have real authority and real accountability.
How long do engagements typically last?
It depends on what you need. Some companies engage us for a 90-day sprint to define strategy and launch a pilot. Others retain us for ongoing strategic oversight. We often help companies hire the right permanent leader and transition out gracefully.
Can you work alongside our existing CTO or IT team?
Yes. Most companies already have technical leadership. We augment that team with dedicated AI expertise so your CTO can focus on core operations while we focus on AI strategy and implementation.
What industries do you work in?
Healthcare, real estate, professional services, restaurants, and enterprise. Our team has deployed at Harvard, Mass General Brigham, the CDC, the American College of Surgeons, and Cook County.
What if we're not sure we need AI at all?
That’s exactly when to start with a diagnostic. We’ll tell you honestly whether AI solves your problem or whether the answer is a process fix, a systems integration, or a people change. We don’t push AI where it doesn’t belong.
