Fractional Chief AI Officer (CAIO)
Today we are launching a needed offering
in AI for $50M- $750M Size businesses
Our Unique Concept:
We are building on ENKI's successful Fractional Leadership Team as a Service model as we provide organizations with part-time access to senior AI leadership without the cost of a full-time executive hire. The Fractional CAIO works directly with the C-suite to establish AI governance frameworks, evaluate AI vendor solutions, oversee AI project portfolios, manage AI-related risks, and build internal AI capabilities. Engagements typically range from 10-30 hours per week depending on organizational complexity and transformation velocity.
ENKI's credibility for this service stems from our team's executive pedigree. Lawrence Dillon is ENKI’s CIO in Residence and the IT Practice Leader. He served as CIO for multi-billion dollar organizations, he has built AI platforms, is an Enterprise Strategist, and has been recognized by Gartner for pioneering work in enterprise architecture. Our firm's existing fractional executive model has already proven successful, with clients praising our ability to quickly grasp business strategy and dive into details when needed. The CAIO service is a natural extension that addresses the acute shortage of AI leadership talent in the market.
Clients receive enterprise-grade AI leadership at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire, which can easily exceed $400,000 annually, plus overhead and benefits, for qualified candidates. More importantly, they gain access to ENKI's broader network of experts who can be brought in for specialized needs. The service includes not just strategic guidance but hands-on involvement in vendor negotiations, technical architecture reviews, and board-level reporting on AI initiatives.
The primary target market is companies in the $50M-$750M revenue range that recognize the strategic importance of AI but cannot justify or attract a full-time CAIO. This includes private equity portfolio companies undergoing digital transformation, family-owned businesses preparing for generational transition, and rapidly growing technology companies needing to formalize their AI governance as they scale.
