Fractional CAIO Service

Your on-demand AI leadership — based in the EU, applied globally.

Most SMBs don’t hire a full-time Chief AI Officer and for good reason. You’d ask why?

Because hiring a full-time Chief AI Officer costs around €100K–€150K in the EU, £150K–£280K in the UK, and $180K–$350K in the US.

For most SMBs, that simply doesn’t make sense. That’s why we offer Fractional Chef Artificial Intelligence Officer service (FCAIO) — grounded in EU compliance, tailored to your business needs, and focused on delivering measurable ROI as you grow. We’ll support you in recruiting and onboarding a full-time CAIO when the time is right ensuring a smooth handover and strategic continuity.

The Real Problems We Solve

❌ You can’t justify a full-time AI hire (yet).

❌ You're unsure how to stay compliant with AI laws.
