Your AI leadership team, by the fraction
You don’t get one person stretched across every problem. You get the CAIO Office: a named lead CAIO who owns the seat, backed by a senior bench of AI architects you would struggle to hire one by one.
One name on the seat. Depth behind it
A named lead CAIO
One accountable person sits with your leadership, owns the plan and reports to the board.
Specialists when the work calls for it
Cost, platform, agent and security architects from the senior bench join for reviews and design decisions, inside the same retainer. [placeholder: confirm how specialist time is scoped and billed]
Continuity built in
The senior bench shares one method and one set of standards, so holidays and handovers don’t stall your roadmap.
Senior AI architects, not juniors
Names, bios, headshots and credentials to be supplied. Nothing on this page is final copy until confirmed.

Independent, remote-first, built to hand over
- Independent of the tools we recommend
We don’t sell a build team or software. [placeholder: confirm disclosure, e.g. “We take no reseller, referral or partner fees.”] - Remote-first, board-ready
Remote-first, board-ready. Your named CAIO presents to the board every quarter, live on video by default, in person when it matters, with travel at cost. On GoFractional’s marketplace, 60% of fractional Chief AI Officer roles are remote, 20% hybrid and 20% in-office (5 job posts, 302 profiles).

- Working with your CTO or CIO
Not around them. Most of our recommendations land in their roadmap. - Designed to say ciao
If the seat should become a full-time hire, we help define the role and hand over cleanly.
