A Fractional AI Officer Who Answers for the Outcome

The chief AI officer has become the fastest-growing seat in the C-suite — and the mid-market can't hire one at a $350K+ median salary. A ProIncident Fractional AI Officer gives you the same seat, part-time and accountable: AI strategy and roadmap ownership, build-versus-buy decisions, vendor evaluation, risk governance, and board reporting on a fixed monthly retainer.

What the seat owns

AI strategy and the roadmap — owned, sequenced, and reported against, not “advised on.”
Build-versus-buy decisions and vendor evaluation, with a written rationale your board can audit.
Risk governance: the AI policy, the risk register, and the answer when your insurer or a customer asks.
Board and leadership reporting — a scored, quarterly view of AI progress against the plan.

Embedded, not visiting

The difference between a Fractional AI Officer and a consultant is ownership. The seat sits in your leadership meetings — video-native by design — carries the roadmap between them, and reports to the board with their name on the slide. When something on the roadmap slips, that's our problem to explain, not a finding to hand you.

Engagement and pricing

$6,000–$12,000 per month by company size and cadence — standalone, or included in the Executive tier of Managed AI Operations. We hold a maximum of three standalone seats firm-wide, because an executive seat that scales infinitely isn't an executive seat. Current availability is on the pricing page.

Who this fits

Boards asking AI questions no one internally can answer with a straight face.
PE value-creation plans that name AI and need someone accountable for it.
Stalled pilots — tools bought, enthusiasm spent, value unmeasured.
AI sprawl: licenses, vendors, and shadow tools accumulating faster than anyone's governing them.

Common questions

How is this different from an AI consultant?
A consultant recommends; the seat owns. The Fractional AI Officer carries the roadmap, makes the calls, and reports the results — with liability boundaries defined in the agreement, because accountability should be written down.
How many hours do we get?
The seat is scoped by cadence, not a timesheet: leadership meeting presence, roadmap ownership, vendor and governance decisions, and board reporting. Typical engagements run 12–16 hours monthly of senior time.
Why only three standalone seats?
Because the seat is delivered by the person who built the methodology, not a bench. Scarcity here is honesty, not marketing.
