Engage a CAIO / CTO / PMO for 1–3 days per week to convert intent into shipped, governed capability.
Executive guidance in AI, Tech and Project Management, part-time hours – full-time accountability.
Why fractional?
Many companies stall when moving from pilot to production. Leaders are being asked to deliver ROI and reduce risk while juggling vendors, budgets, security reviews, and change management—without the bandwidth or in‑house experience to do it consistently.
We offer Fractional Leadership to close that gap: a senior operator who sets the execution rhythm, clarifies decision rights, and owns outcomes—establishing governance, defining a clear Definition of Done, running Launch Gates, and unblocking teams across product, data, security, and operations.
