Fractional Chief Data / AI Officer

Senior data and AI leadership for a few days a month. Someone who has run data platforms and AI programmes sets the direction, makes the platform calls and builds the team, without the cost of a full-time executive.

What we do

  • Data and AI strategy tied to specific business decisions
  • Choosing which AI use cases to fund first, and which to stop
  • Platform, vendor and architecture decisions
  • Governance, data protection and AI risk, including the EU AI Act
  • Hiring and shaping the data and AI team
  • Reporting to the board and leadership in plain language
