WHAT IS A FRACTIONAL AI OFFICER?

Are you making bad AI decisions with no one in charge of AI?

Every week you're choosing tools, trusting vendors, and letting staff drop company data into ChatGPT, with nobody owning whether it's safe, strategic, or actually working.

A Fractional AI Officer is that owner: senior AI leadership embedded in your business without the full-time hire, the same way you'd use a fractional CFO.

We take full ownership of your AI growth program: strategy, safe rollout, adoption and return, backed by 25 years in IT and security.

Why every business will soon have an AI department

AI isn't a tool you bolt on. It's becoming part of how every team works, and someone has to lead it, keep it safe and make sure it pays.

It touches every team

Sales, finance, HR and operations all use AI now. It needs one owner across them, not a different tool in every department.

It needs oversight

Security, privacy, performance and compliance. Like HR for your people, your AI employees need managing.

It keeps moving

New tools arrive every week. Someone has to test what's new, drop what doesn't work and keep finding the next win.

You don't need to hire a $200K-a-year Chief AI Officer to get there. A Fractional AI Officer gives you that leadership part-time, and starts with your AI Game Plan.

What a Fractional AI Officer does

A Fractional AI Officer is a senior AI leader embedded in your business part-time, the strategic head of AI you'd otherwise hire full-time at $200K+. You get executive-level direction, a prioritised roadmap, and hands-on delivery, scaled to what your business actually needs right now. Think fractional CFO, but for the fastest-moving capability in business today.

Not a consultant who hands you a slide deck and walks away. Not a developer who builds whatever they're asked. The person responsible for making sure AI actually moves your business.

THE DIFFERENCE

25 years, not 25 weeks.

Most AI consultants learned ChatGPT last year. I've spent 25 years in IT and IT security. That's the difference between someone experimenting on your business and someone who implements AI with safety and confidence from day one.

Most AI consultants don't know security. Most IT firms don't know growth. I do both.

WHO'S IT FOR?

Businesses with 20+ staff that know they'll eventually need an AI division, and would rather start now, fractionally, than scramble later.

This is you if:

  • You know the wrong AI decision now costs more later, and could leave you behind in your market.

  • Your team is under-using AI and automation, and you're not sure how to pull the most opportunity out of it.

  • You want to grow the business without adding more staff.

  • You want real results, not shiny tools.

You want to run a business, not an AI experiment.

THE INVESTMENT

Start with your AI Game Plan, not a contract

Your AI Game Plan comes first: your top three AI wins, in dollars, presented to your leadership team.

Then you decide: run it yourself, switch on your first AI employee, or bring Allan in as your Fractional AI Officer.

The ongoing Fractional AI Officer engagement is scoped to your business from there, and you only scale it once the ROI is proven.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a Fractional AI Officer do?

Owns your AI strategy, implementation and adoption part-time, as embedded leadership rather than a one-off consultant.

How much does a Fractional AI Officer cost?

You start with your AI Game Plan: your top three AI wins, with the dollar return, in writing. The ongoing engagement is scoped to your business and scaled monthly, far less than a full-time AI executive.

How is this different from an AI consultant?

A consultant hands you advice and leaves. A Fractional AI Officer owns the outcome and stays accountable for it. They become part of your executive team and have a seat in your business like a full-time employee.

Is my data safe?

That's the core of it. 25 years in IT security means governance and safety come first, not as an afterthought.

What sized business is this for?

Best fit is 20+ staff, though tactical engagements start from around 10.

Will AI replace my team?

No. AI employees sit next to your team, not on top of it. They take the repetitive admin and follow-up, and your people keep the judgement, the client relationships and the final say.

Why do we need someone to manage our AI?

Because AI that runs part of your business needs an owner. Someone has to give it your business context, check its work, keep it secure and keep it current as the tools change. In month one we ask a lot of questions. Each answer goes into your business brain once. Then your AI stops asking and starts doing.

How do I get started?

Start with your AI Game Plan: a 60-minute session and a written plan showing your top three AI wins, in dollars.
