Fractional AI Officer

Immediate, enterprise-grade AI leadership to drive strategy, governance and oversight.

Designed for teams who…

You are navigating the complexities of AI adoption but lack a dedicated executive to steer the ship. Your organisation typically has pockets of AI experimentation underway, but you are missing a unified strategy, clear governance or the technical oversight required to scale safely. As projects stall or risks emerge, the need for experienced leadership becomes critical.

You are likely a CEO, CIO or Board member in a regulated or complex environment—such as finance, healthcare or government—feeling the pressure to innovate while managing significant exposure. You need the authority and expertise of a Chief AI Officer to provide direction and confidence, but you aren’t yet ready to commit to a permanent C-level headcount.

Problem → Outcome

Secure executive ownership of your AI strategy and governance without the overhead of a full-time hire.

Key Outcomes

  • Strategic clarity: Move beyond ad-hoc experiments with a cohesive AI roadmap that aligns with your broader business goals and delivers measurable value.
  • Robust governance: Operationalise safety and compliance immediately with established frameworks that satisfy regulators, insurers and internal audit requirements.
  • Accelerated execution: Cut through vendor noise and internal hesitation to prioritise high-value use cases that drive real competitive advantage.
  • Executive assurance: Equip your Board and C-suite with the oversight, reporting and expert guidance needed to make defensible decisions on AI investment and risk.
