What it is
An outside AI executive who joins your management team to lead AI adoption with business judgment, not just technical judgment.
What's included
- Recurring executive sessions with management.
- An AI strategy and roadmap prioritized by return.
- Oversight of initiatives and implementations.
- Progress and KPI reporting to the committee.
- AI governance and risk management.
How we work: 5-phase methodology
- Phase 1 · AI maturity diagnostic — assessing the company's current state of AI adoption: existing initiatives, governance gaps, risks.
- Phase 2 · Roadmap design — a decision architecture: what gets automated, in what order, under what governance and with what budget.
- Phase 3 · Ongoing executive support — periodic participation on the committee or board, reviewing initiatives and high-level technical decisions.
- Phase 4 · Implementation oversight — technical direction of ongoing AI projects (in-house or from other vendors), without executing day-to-day development.
- Phase 5 · Transfer and governance — documenting decision criteria so internal leadership gains progressive autonomy.
What we need from your team
- Access to the executive leadership or committee that will make AI decisions.
- An overview of current AI initiatives (in-house or third-party) and their status.
- Business objectives and a reference budget for the fractional-leadership period.
- Periodic availability for committee sessions (frequency to be agreed based on the plan).
Who it's for
- Mid-size/large companies adopting AI seriously.
- Leadership teams that need executive AI judgment.
- Committees that want decisions based on return.
Signs you need it
- Leadership wants to adopt AI seriously, but no committee member has the technical judgment to evaluate the decisions.
- Several AI initiatives are underway with nobody overseeing them or prioritizing them by real return.
- Hiring a full-time AI C-level isn't viable yet, but the company does need that judgment on the committee.
- Decisions about new AI tools are made without first evaluating the governance risks involved.
Expected outcome
- A clear, prioritized AI roadmap.
- Investment decisions made with business judgment.
- Orderly, measurable adoption, with no scattered experiments.

Frequently asked questions about this service
How is this different from hiring a full-time CAIO?
You get high-level strategic and technical leadership without the fixed cost of a full-time executive — ideal for companies that need expert judgment but not daily decision volume.
Does José make the decisions, or does the company?
Strategic and executive direction is always yours. The fractional role provides technical judgment, prioritizes initiatives and flags risks — the final decision belongs to your committee.
How much time is dedicated per week or per month?
It's defined in the contracted plan; it can range from periodic committee sessions to more intensive support during critical implementation phases.
Does it oversee AI projects jsadsAI doesn't execute directly?
Yes, that's part of the role's value: independent technical direction over in-house or other vendors' initiatives, focused on governance and ROI.
What happens if I later want to hire an in-house CAIO?
The goal of the fractional role is to leave the roadmap and governance documented for an orderly transition, not to create dependency.
