Executive-level AI leadership for small and midsize businesses
AI is quickly becoming a core business capability — not just a technical experiment. But for many small and midsize businesses, hiring a full-time Chief AI Officer isn’t practical or necessary. Our Fractional Chief AI Officer (CAIO) service provides experienced, executive-level AI leadership on a flexible basis, helping you turn AI into a strategic advantage without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.
As your fractional CAIO, an executive at AI Growth Solutions will work alongside your leadership team to define AI strategy, prioritize high-impact use cases, establish governance, and guide execution. The result is clear direction, smarter investments, and AI initiatives that deliver real business value.
What a Fractional Chief AI Officer Does

AI strategy and roadmap development
Align AI initiatives with business objectives and create a practical, prioritized roadmap focused on measurable ROI.
Executive AI leadership without full-time overhead
Get the insight, accountability, and decision-making of a Chief AI Officer — fractionally and affordably.
Cross-functional AI adoption
Ensure AI efforts support operations, marketing, sales, and customer experience, rather than living in disconnected silos.
AI governance and risk management
Establish clear policies, guardrails, and ethical standards for responsible AI use.
AI-ready culture and capability building
Help teams understand, adopt, and confidently use AI tools in their daily workflows.
Who This Service Is For
The Fractional Chief AI Officer service is ideal for:
Small and midsize businesses that need AI leadership but aren’t ready for a full-time executive hire.
Companies investing in AI tools without a clear strategy or ownership.
Leadership teams seeking ROI-driven AI initiatives, not disconnected pilots.
Organizations that want accountability, structure, and execution, not just advice.
If you know AI matters but want a seasoned leader to guide decisions and execution, fractional AI leadership offers the right balance of strategy and practicality.
