Fractional CDO / AI Advisor
Fractional Chief AI Officer services
Data and AI strategy, owned by someone accountable for the outcome.
A named executive who owns data strategy, AI governance, and the portfolio of AI initiatives across the business, deciding what gets built, what gets bought, and what gets shelved, with the authority to actually make those calls stick.
What this covers
- Data and AI strategy ownership across the full initiative portfolio
- AI governance, risk, and responsible-use policy ownership
- Build-vs-buy authority across the AI and data initiative pipeline
- A defined handoff plan to a permanent hire
How we engage
- Audit the current AI/data initiative portfolio and governance gaps
- Embed a named fractional CDO/CAIO with portfolio authority
- Execute the strategy and prepare the permanent handoff
Business impact
- AI initiatives get prioritized against business value, not novelty
- Data and AI risk gets governed instead of discovered after the fact
- A pipeline of pilots starts converting into production systems
Transformation outcomes
- A prioritized AI/data portfolio with clear ownership
- A governance framework that survives the fractional engagement
- A permanent leader who inherits a running strategy, not a blank page

How is this different from hiring an advisor?
An advisor gives you an opinion; a fractional executive owns the outcome. Ours sit inside your leadership team with the roadmap, the vendor decisions, and the delivery accountability, the same responsibilities the permanent hire would carry.
