Hire / 06

Someone owns the AI roadmap. Finally.

Someone senior enough to own your AI roadmap, on a schedule that fits your stage.

The profile

AI initiatives stall without a senior owner accountable for the roadmap, not just the pilots. A fractional Chief AI Officer sets AI strategy, evaluates vendors and models, defines governance and evaluation standards, and reports progress against real business metrics — without the cost of a full-time hire most companies at this stage don't yet need.

How the match works

From intro call to embedded.

Matched to where your AI initiatives actually stall — not a generalist consultant applying a template roadmap.

01
Day 1

Intro call

Understand where AI initiatives currently stall and who owns what today.

02
Week 1

Scope

Agree the days/week and the first 90-day priorities.

03
Week 2 on

Embed

Recurring roadmap, vendor, and governance involvement on schedule.

04
Monthly

Review

Monthly check-in against business metrics, not activity.

No lock-in

Month-to-month after a short minimum — no tiers, no bundled subscription, no lock-in. You keep the leadership only as long as it's earning its place.

Questions

Asked on every first call.

Often yes — a CTO owns engineering broadly; a fractional AI officer focuses specifically on AI roadmap, governance, and vendor decisions, and can report into or alongside an existing CTO.

Usually a prioritized AI roadmap within the first month, similar in spirit to our standalone Readiness Assessment but delivered as ongoing owned leadership rather than a one-off report.

Scoped to days/week involved, the same way a fractional CTO engagement is — you'll know the number after the intro call, not after a proposal cycle.
