Fractional Chief AI Officer

Definition

A senior Chief AI Officer engaged on a part-time or project basis to provide executive AI leadership without the cost of a full-time hire. Fractional Chief AI Officers are particularly valuable for mid-market companies that need board-level AI strategy, vendor evaluation, and team upskilling but cannot yet justify a permanent role.
