Fractional Chief AI Officer

Your Chief AI Officer. Without the $350K Salary.

Executive AI leadership for businesses with 5–100 employees. We find the hours hiding in your workflows and give them back — we call it Compressing Time.

You know AI matters. But nobody on your team owns it.

Tools get tried and abandoned, competitors move faster, and every week of waiting costs you hours your team will never get back.

What a Fractional CAIO Does

An experienced AI executive embedded in your business part-time — sets your AI strategy, picks the right tools (and kills the wrong ones), builds automations, trains your people, and owns results.

All the leadership, a fraction of the cost.

How It Works

From Audit to Ownership

1

AI Opportunity Audit

2 weeks — we map every workflow, score your AI readiness, and find at least 10 hours/week of recoverable time or it's free.

2

Roadmap

A prioritized 90-day plan with ROI estimates.

3

Implement

We build the automations and integrate the tools.

4

Train

Your team learns to run it themselves, so you own the capability, not us.
