AI leadership with structure, not chaos
Get senior AI strategy, governance, and momentum without hiring a full-time CAIO.

Get senior AI strategy, governance, and momentum without hiring a full-time CAIO.
When nobody owns AI, experimentation spreads, tools get adopted in silos, and leaders are left guessing what is safe, approved, or worth funding.
Teams adopt tools independently, creating inconsistent practices and exposure.
AI ideas stall because nobody can prioritize, scope, or prove ROI.
Leaders worry about data leakage, IP exposure, and policy gaps.
Pilots start fast, then drift without direction, ownership, or measurement.
A Fractional CAIO is distinct from CTOs and CIOs by owning the intersection of AI strategy, governance, and initiative leadership.

Define AI vision and measurable outcomes, prioritize use cases across teams, and build and maintain an AI roadmap and portfolio with clear ROI tracking.

Own AIOS and the AI use policy, set guardrails for tools, data, and acceptable use, and lead enablement planning so teams adopt responsibly with confidence.
Every engagement is tailored, but most follow a simple maturity path from clarity to execution.
Inventory current AI usage, tools, and risks. Assess maturity across strategy, people, process, data, execution, and sustainability.
Define the AI vision, measurable outcomes, and risk posture. Establish AIOS and an AI use policy people can follow.
Build a prioritized use-case inventory and a 90-day pilot plan, plus a 12-month roadmap for what comes next.
Join leadership rhythms, guide decisions, review initiatives, and keep AI execution aligned to outcomes.
Measure results, capture learnings, adjust priorities, and strengthen the operating model over time.
A structured program to plan, implement, and scale AI initiatives.
Start with one phase and build.
We inventory tools and use cases, establish AIOS guardrails, and turn scattered efforts into a prioritized portfolio with clear owners and outcomes.


We define the strategy, readiness baseline, and first roadmap, then help select and lead the first set of pilots.
We focus on AI governance, enablement, and cross-functional alignment while CIO and CTO leaders focus on systems and delivery.

Move from hype and pilots to a governed AI program that delivers measurable value.
Everyone understands why, where, and how AI is used.
Policies and governance that teams actually follow.
AI initiatives stay aligned under one roadmap.
Test, measure, improve, and scale what works.
See if this approach fits your AI leadership needs.
For organizations that take AI seriously, but are not ready for a full-time AI executive.
AI leadership that turns vision into an operating model, then into real results.
Define outcomes, success metrics, and where AI should show up across the business.
Create practical guardrails through AIOS so teams know what's allowed and what is off limits.
Identify opportunities by department, score impact and feasibility, then choose the right first wins.
Maintain visibility across all AI work, so initiatives stay coordinated and aligned to strategy.
