Fractional Chief AI Officer
AI capability is now a board-level requirement in organisations that cannot yet justify — or find — a full-time Chief AI Officer. In IBM's 2026 Institute for Business Value survey of 2,000 large-enterprise CEOs (with Oxford Economics, across 33 geographies), 76% of surveyed organisations report a Chief AI Officer — up from 26% a year earlier. Outside that enterprise cohort the title remains scarce, and that gap is exactly where the fractional CAIO operates.
Our fractional and interim practice places senior AI operating leaders into exactly these windows — AI strategy stand-ups, post-raise capability builds, product pivots — drawn from a relationship graph of 248,000+ connected executives. The underlying AI leadership work is documented: significant AI strategy, product and executive engagements for companies including Xero, Culture Amp and MYOB.
