What is a Fractional Chief AI Innovation Officer?

A Fractional Chief AI Innovation Officer (Fractional CAIO) is a senior, part-time executive who provides board-level AI and innovation leadership to mid-market organizations. Companies get the strategic horsepower of a top-tier executive without the cost of a full-time hire.

How is a Fractional CAIO different from an AI consultant?

A consultant delivers recommendations. A Fractional CAIO takes accountability. We sit in the leadership seat, lead the strategy, and drive execution from inside the organization — operating as part of the executive team for the duration of the engagement.

Who is a Fractional CAIO right for?

Mid-market organizations that need senior AI and innovation leadership but cannot justify a full-time CAIO salary. Typically firms with $50M to $2B in annual revenue that are serious about future-proofing their enterprise and driving growth through AI.

How long does a typical Fractional CAIO engagement last?

Engagements are customized to each client, but most run six to twelve months with the option to extend. We stay until the AI and innovation systems are producing measurable revenue outcomes.

Who leads the engagement?

Every LeaderLogic Fractional CAIO engagement is led personally by Nicholas J. Webb — a multiple #1 bestselling author on innovation with more than 40 U.S. patents and four decades of advisory experience.
