Why companies hire a Fractional CAIO

  • ✕

    Board is asking about AI strategy. The answer is we're experimenting. That's not a strategy.

  • ✕

    CTO owns AI by default but has no bandwidth for governance, vendor evaluation, or compliance.

  • ✕

    Multiple AI vendors, no orchestration layer, no single owner for risk or ROI.

  • ✕

    EU AI Act requires a named responsible for high-risk systems. You don't have one.

What a Fractional CAIO does in your company

  1. 01

    AI strategy and board alignment

    Define the 12-month AI roadmap. Align it with your business objectives. Present to board or exec team as needed.

  2. 02

    Governance and compliance

    Build the AI governance framework: data policies, model risk assessment, EU AI Act audit trail, vendor accountability.

  3. 03

    Vendor and stack orchestration

    Evaluate, select and integrate AI vendors. Prevent lock-in. Ensure the stack is coherent, not a collection of SaaS experiments.

  4. 04

    Team capability build

    Train your team to execute. Establish AI-native workflows. Hand off ownership progressively — the goal is to make myself redundant.

  5. 05

    ROI measurement

    Define metrics before deployment. Measure them after. Every initiative tied to a business outcome — not a usage stat.

Scope and proposal

The proposal reflects the leadership responsibilities, company size, business units, projects and availability required. We agree the commitment, working rhythm, objectives and review points together, with clear commercial terms before starting.

FAQ

What does fractional mean in practice?
I take on defined leadership responsibilities with an agreed commitment. We establish how I work with management, technology and the wider team, including decision-making, availability and progress reviews.
Do you work with our existing CTO or IT team?
Always in partnership. The CAIO role owns AI strategy and governance — it complements your CTO, it doesn't replace them.
How long does the engagement last?
We agree the duration around the objectives and the organisation’s needs. Review points help us adapt the commitment and prepare a handover when the team is ready.
Do you cover EU AI Act compliance?
Yes. Governance and compliance are core to the role, not an add-on. I build the documentation trail your auditors will need.
Can this work remotely?
Yes. Based in Øresund, Madrid and the Canary Islands. Remote-first with optional on-site sessions for board presentations or critical workshops.
