AI Growth Systems
Fractional Head of AI
Senior AI leadership embedded in your team. Strategy, execution, and accountability without the full-time hire.
What's Getting in the Way
Most growth-stage companies need senior AI leadership but cannot justify or find a full-time hire. A full-time Head of AI costs $150-200K or more in base salary alone, before benefits, recruitment costs, and ramp time. You need the capability without the commitment. The fractional model gives you that at a fraction of the cost, with no recruitment risk.
- AI implementation keeps getting de-prioritised because there is no dedicated owner with authority to push it forward
- The team does not have the senior direction to know which AI systems to build first
- Junior team executing tactics without senior strategic direction, leading to wasted effort
- Full-time Head of AI not justifiable at current stage but the gap is costing you

How many hours per month do we get?
Typically 10-15 hours per month of dedicated time, plus availability for async questions. The exact allocation is agreed upfront based on your needs.
What does embedded mean in practice?
We are in your Slack, on your calls, reviewing your work, and building alongside your team. Not delivering a report and leaving. Active participation in your AI work.
Who is this for?
Growth-stage companies that need senior AI leadership but cannot justify or find a full-time hire at this stage. Often paired with a small internal team.
What is the minimum commitment?
3 months. AI initiatives take time to show results and anything shorter does not deliver real value. After 3 months, it is month-to-month.
How is success measured?
We set specific AI targets at the start of each quarter. Progress against those targets is reported monthly. You always know what you are getting.
