Fractional Chief AI Officer
Most AI initiatives fail to deliver ROI. The ones that succeed have someone owning the function full-time. You just don't need to pay $250K to get that person.
The Problem
Your team is spending hours on tasks that should take minutes. Your competitors are automating their sales pipelines, streamlining operations, and scaling with the same headcount — while you're still trying to figure out which AI tools to evaluate. Meanwhile, every "AI initiative" that gets spun up internally fizzles out because nobody owns it.
The companies winning right now aren't the ones with the biggest teams. They're the ones with someone who wakes up every day thinking about how to make the business faster, leaner, and smarter with AI. That's a Chief AI Officer — and most companies don't need one 40 hours a week. They need one who's focused, experienced, and embedded deeply enough to actually deliver.
Starting at $6K / month
A dedicated day each week focused entirely on making your business faster with AI — building automations, integrating tools, and ensuring every initiative actually delivers ROI. Pricing scales with company size and scope.
How It Works
Weekly Cadence
Regular strategy sessions to map your workflows, identify what's costing you time and money, and prioritize the automations that move the needle.
Hands-On Delivery
Not just advice — actual implementation. Lead gen automations, process re-engineering, tool integrations. Built and deployed between sessions.
Measurable Impact
Every engagement tracks ROI. You'll see exactly which processes improved, how much time was saved, and how many more clients your team can handle.

Who This Is For
- You've tried AI tools and pilot projects, but nothing stuck — because nobody owned it as their entire job
- Your team is doing work manually that your competitors already automated, and you can feel the gap widening
- You know your current staff could serve 2-3x more clients if the right systems were in place
- You need someone multi-disciplinary — who's been an exec, an IC, and has worked across functions — not just a consultant with a slide deck
Common Questions
- Why do so many AI initiatives fail?
- Because nobody owns the function. AI projects get assigned to people who already have full-time jobs. Without someone whose entire portfolio of work is identifying, building, and measuring AI initiatives, things stall after the pilot. A fractional CAIO gives you that dedicated ownership without the full-time cost.
- How is this different from hiring a consultant for individual projects?
- With project work, you re-explain your business every time and lose continuity between engagements. A retained model means your fractional CAIO already knows your workflows, your team, and your goals. That context compounds — each month builds on the last. And because this person has operated as an exec, an individual contributor, and across multiple functional areas, they don't just advise — they build.
- What does "one day per week" actually mean?
- It's not about clocking hours. It means weekly strategy sessions (typically 1-2 hours), plus async work throughout the week — building automations, reviewing implementations, answering questions. The commitment is to outcomes, not a timesheet.
- What if we need more than one day a week?
- The engagement scales. If a major initiative requires deeper involvement, we adjust scope and pricing accordingly. Many clients start at the base tier and expand as they see ROI.
- How long is the commitment?
- Month-to-month. We recommend a minimum 3-month engagement to see meaningful results, but there are no long-term contracts. If it's not working, you can stop anytime.
- Can you work with our existing team and tools?
- Absolutely. The role is designed to complement your existing setup — working alongside your developers, ops team, or whoever is closest to the workflows being improved. Tool-agnostic by design.
