Fractional CTO for executives and boards navigating AI. In three days I move your organization from a reactive posture to a Board-Ready state of AI governance — immediate risk and privacy guardrails, a clear AI-readiness narrative you can take to the board, and a low-risk path to real ROI. Bounded engagements, secure by default, with deliverables that stay after I leave.
Senior judgment for leaders who have to answer for AI — its risks, its ROI, and its pace of adoption — in regulated or data-sensitive businesses.
A fixed, three-day engagement. Audit the current state, install a protective governance framework, and leave with a prioritized path to value the board can stand behind. Named outcomes, a fixed price, and a clear start and finish.
Designed to move your organization from a reactive posture to a Board-Ready state of AI governance. We conduct an audit, establish a protective governance framework, and define a clear, low-risk path for AI adoption that answers board concerns about risk, competitive edge, and ROI.
Once the guardrails are in place, most engagements continue. Each has a named outcome and a clear scope.
Continuous strategic guidance and executive coaching that keeps governance frameworks current and the AI roadmap aligned to the business. Policy updates, roadmap oversight, and monthly performance reviews.
A high-touch interim / fractional CTO or technical lead. Hands-on execution, architecture leadership, and mentoring for your product and engineering teams. Flexible commitments.
A deep assessment of the data foundations AI adoption depends on: data-hygiene audits, ETL pipeline optimization, and compliance mapping. Delivers a Data Maturity Report and Technical Optimization Plan.
Targeted, high-impact, low-risk proofs of concept for specific business problems — intelligent document processing, RAG implementation, and more. Discovery to functional prototype in four to six weeks.
A specialist's edge in governing and shipping AI in regulated, data-sensitive environments — without the price tag of a fractional generalist.
I design AI adoption around contractually-covered, data-safe tooling — BAAs, DPAs, and data-residency controls — so privacy and security are the starting point, not a retrofit. The board gets a posture it can defend.
I move between the boardroom, the executive team, and engineering in the same conversation. Decisions get made faster when the room actually understands each other.
Plain-English answers, fast defensible decisions, and a written record of why. Not a contractor handing back code — a partner who owns the outcome with you.
A 30-minute discovery call is structured around five questions: business context, current tech, the decision driving the call, success criteria, and decision timing. No pitch. If it's not the right engagement, I'll say so and offer a referral.
