Fractional CAIO
AI strategy, adoption roadmap, and executive-level operating guidance
Fractional executive and board advisory
Fractional leadership for AI, data, and product decisions.
I step in as a fractional CAIO, CTO, CDO, or board advisor when AI direction, product decisions, data systems, or technical leadership cannot wait for a full-time hire.
I’ve helped leadership teams and companies across organizations including Zynga, Groupon, Microsoft, Netskope, Twitter, Facebook, Palo Alto Networks, Aruba Networks, SambaNova.ai, AT&T, HBO Max, and Singtel, alongside many startups.

Services
What I can help with.
The work usually starts when the stakes are real, decisions are piling up, and the company needs experienced judgment before it is ready for a full-time executive hire.
Fractional CAIO
AI strategy, adoption roadmaps, workflow redesign, build-versus-buy decisions, and getting AI out of pilot mode and into how the business actually runs.
Fractional CTO
Technical architecture, product and platform direction, engineering prioritization, enterprise readiness, and scale without unnecessary technical debt.
Fractional CDO
Data strategy, analytics modernization, governance, data products, instrumentation, and the systems needed for reliable decision-making.
Board & Advisory
Independent judgment on AI, product, data, and operating decisions that influence the next phase of company growth.
When I Get Involved
Common reasons companies reach out.
- A CEO or board needs a credible AI strategy, adoption plan, and executive operating partner.
- A company is making product and platform bets around AI but needs sharper technical and commercial judgment.
- Leadership needs help deciding what to build, what to automate, and where defensible AI advantage can actually emerge.
- The business needs stronger data foundations, analytics, instrumentation, or decision systems to support scale.
How It Works
How an engagement works.
- Real executive ownership — in the room, making calls, not writing memos from the outside.
- A practical mix of strategy, product direction, technical judgment, and leadership alignment.
- Coverage across AI, data, GTM, and enterprise execution — without the gaps between them.
- A structure built around what the company needs now, without locking in the wrong full-time hire too soon.
Engagement Fit
Companies I work best with.
I work best with companies that need someone who has actually done this — not a generalist, not a slow process. Someone who can get into the technical and business details equally well.
Strong Fit
- Leadership teams serious about AI strategy, adoption, and execution.
- Companies needing fractional CAIO, CTO, or CDO depth before a full-time hire.
- Boards or CEOs who want high-trust technical and strategic judgment.
What You Can Expect
- Clear recommendations, not generic AI advice.
- Hands-on operating help where execution is stuck.
- A practical balance of product, data, GTM, and enterprise realities.
