Your AI Initiatives Don't Need Another Strategy Deck - They Need Experienced Leadership

Most mid-market companies face the same challenge: AI offers enormous potential, but implementation is complex. You need someone who has led enterprise transformations, navigated stakeholder politics, and actually gotten AI to production—not just created PowerPoints.

The typical options aren't ideal:

Hire a full-time Chief AI Officer: $150K-$378K annually (plus benefits, equity, and 6-12 month search process)
Engage Big 4 consulting: $750-$3-$3M for a typical 6-month project, with junior analysts doing most of the work while you pay $500-1,100/hour blended team rates
Go it alone: 70% failure rate for AI projects due to lack of specialized expertise

There's a better way: Get executive-level AI and transformation expertise on a flexible engagement model that fits your budget and timeline.

Choose Your Engagement Model

From targeted strategic guidance to embedded fractional leadership—work with me in the way that makes sense for your organization's needs.

Is This Right for Your Organization?

This Is For You If...

✓ You're a mid-market company (100-2,000 employees) implementing AI initiatives

✓ You have budget allocated for AI but need guidance on where to invest

✓ Your team is smart and capable but lacks specialized AI transformation expertise

✓ You're past the proof-of-concept phase and need to get to production

✓ You need strategic direction more than hands-on implementation

✓ You want measurable results and ROI, not just impressive slide decks

This Isn't For You If...

✗ You need someone to do the technical implementation (I guide strategy, your team executes)

✗ You're looking for a full-time employee (this is fractional/advisory work)

✗ You're still in exploratory phase (start with the AI Strategy Assessment instead)

✗ You need 24/7 availability (I work with 2 clients maximum to ensure quality)

✗ You want vendor recommendations with kickbacks (I provide unbiased guidance only)
