Fractional Chief AI Officer: AI leadership without a full-time C-level hire
A Chief AI Officer answers for what AI does to the company's numbers. A fractional one does it on a recurring part-time basis: sits with your leadership team, owns the roadmap and leaves capabilities installed in your team.
What a Chief AI Officer does
- Sets an AI strategy tied to the business, with priorities and budget.
- Decides what to build, what to buy and what not to do.
- Governs agents: permissions, human approval, risk and compliance.
- Measures P&L impact and reports it like a CFO would.
- Trains the team and hires the talent that's missing.
Why fractional
A full-time CAIO is expensive and hard to find, and most mid-size companies don't need one 40 hours a week. A fractional CAIO gives you senior AI leadership at the cadence your stage needs.
Today I design and run the AI agents of a VC-backed mortgage platform in Colombia: 5,100+ sessions in production, an operations agent that absorbed the routine layer of a coordinator role (about USD 51K a year) at USD 274–400 a month, a broker copilot that went from zero to production in 18 days, and a mortgage plugin published in the ChatGPT directory. Before that I co-founded and ran DORA, a rental-guarantee fintech with 2,000 tenants and a 0.8% default rate, which was acquired.
FAQ
- What does a Fractional CAIO deliver in the first 90 days?
- A process diagnostic, prioritized use cases with estimated return, at least one system in production and a dashboard that shows its impact.
- Do you work with companies outside Colombia?
- Yes. I work remotely across Latin America and with US companies operating in the region, in Spanish or English.
