← Chief AI Officer

A fractional Chief AI Officer, without the executive salary.

Someone has to own AI at your organization: decide what it's for, keep it safe, get it into daily work, and prove it paid off. I do that as a fractional officer, with every price stated in writing before work starts.

What the seat covers

Strategy and ownership

One owner for AI, and a short list of business numbers it is supposed to move: hours, dollars, response time.

Policy and governance

A plain-English use policy, approved tools, off-limits data, and a clear view of which vendors already use AI on your data.

Deployments that ship

Real workflows put into daily operation, starting with the repeated tasks that eat the most staff time.

Measurement

A before number, an after number, and a readout leadership can take to the board.

People and continuity

Hands-on staff training and a written playbook your organization keeps, so nothing leaves when a person does.

How it works

Step 1

A 30-minute call

Free, no pitch. We look at where you are and whether a fractional AI officer is the right fit, or whether something smaller covers it.

Step 2

A readiness audit, fixed price

I map your repeated work, your data, and your risks, and hand you a prioritized plan. The price is in writing before we start.

Step 3

A 90-day engagement

One owner, one policy, and at least one deployment in daily use, measured against the before number.

Step 4

The ongoing seat

A monthly role: new deployments, governance reviews, and training as your staff and the tools change.
