FRACTIONAL CAIO · CHIEF AI OFFICER

Fractional CAIO — Senior AI Leadership Without the Full-Time Hire

Your company needs a Chief AI Officer. You don't need one five days a week yet. I embed 2 days/week, own the AI agenda, and build the infrastructure that lets your team execute without me.

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.

FAQ

What does fractional mean in practice?
2 dedicated days per week. Direct access, shared Slack channel, weekly strategic session, and monthly board prep. Not a consultant who shows up monthly.
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.
What's the minimum engagement?
3 months. Most clients stay 6-12 months until the internal capability is established and they can hire a full-time CAIO.
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. Base is Spain (Madrid/Canarias). Remote-first with optional on-site sessions for board presentations or critical workshops.
