Frequently Asked Questions

Fractional leadership provides part-time Chief Data & AI Officer services. This includes strategic planning, team leadership, stakeholder management, vendor evaluation, and hands-on guidance—everything a full-time executive would do, scaled to your needs.

Consulting typically focuses on specific projects with defined deliverables. Fractional leadership is an ongoing executive role where I become part of your leadership team, attending meetings, managing initiatives, and providing continuous guidance—just part-time.

Engagements typically range from 1-3 days per week depending on your needs. This can flex up during critical periods (like strategy development or major implementations) and down during steady-state operations.

Integration starts with understanding your team structure, culture, and working style. I join relevant meetings, establish communication channels, and build relationships with key stakeholders. The goal is to feel like a natural extension of your leadership team.

Fractional leadership works well for startups that need senior AI leadership but aren't ready for a full-time hire, and for mid-size companies scaling AI initiatives who need experienced guidance. If you're unsure, a discovery call can help determine fit.

Many fractional engagements evolve over time. I can help you hire a full-time leader when you're ready, transition knowledge to your team, or shift to an advisory role. The goal is always to build your internal capability.
