Your Fractional AI CTO
I help UK & EU SMBs audit, plan, and implement AI — so you get the strategic leadership of a Chief Technology Officer without hiring full-time.
Why Your Business Needs an AI CTO
AI is transforming every industry. Without strategic AI leadership, your business risks falling behind.
Competitors Are Moving Faster
While you evaluate options, competitors are already automating processes and gaining an edge with AI-powered workflows.
Wasting Budget on Wrong Tools
Buying AI tools without a strategy means paying for features you don't need and missing the ones that would actually move the needle.
No AI Strategy or Roadmap
Without a clear AI roadmap, your team experiments randomly. No priorities, no ROI tracking, no measurable outcomes.
Team Doesn't Know How to Use AI
Your team sees AI as a threat or a toy, not a tool. Without training and processes, adoption stalls.
Data Silos Block AI Effectiveness
AI needs clean, connected data. Most SMBs have information scattered across spreadsheets, emails, and disconnected tools.
Security & Compliance Blind Spots
Using AI without governance puts your business at risk — data leaks, regulatory issues, and reputational damage.

FAQ
What is a Fractional AI CTO?+−
A fractional AI CTO provides part-time strategic AI leadership for your business. You get the expertise of a Chief Technology Officer focused on AI — strategy, implementation, team training — without hiring full-time.
Who is this for?+−
SMB owners and executives in the UK and EU who want to leverage AI but lack in-house expertise. Typically businesses with 10-200 employees and processes that could benefit from automation.
What AI tools do you implement?+−
It depends on your needs. Common tools include: ChatGPT/Claude for workflows, Make/n8n for automation, custom AI dashboards, CRM-integrated AI, document processing, and more. I select tools based on your specific ROI potential.
How quickly will I see results?+−
Quick wins within 2-4 weeks (simple automations, tool setup). Full transformation results within 8-12 weeks. Most clients see ROI within the first month of implementation.
Do I need technical knowledge?+−
No. I handle the technical strategy and implementation. Your team gets trained on user-friendly tools — no coding required. The focus is on business outcomes, not technical complexity.
What about data security and confidentiality?+−
Full NDA from day one. I follow enterprise-grade security practices and align with UK GDPR for AI implementation. Your data stays yours — I help you set up AI systems that keep sensitive information protected.
How is this different from hiring an AI consultant?+−
Consultants give you a report. I give you results. As your fractional AI CTO, I stay involved through implementation, measure outcomes, train your team, and iterate until the system works.
How do payments work?+−
Project-based or monthly retainer. Pricing depends on your company size and project complexity. GBP/EUR accepted. Payment via bank transfer or invoice.
Is there a guarantee?+−
If there's no measurable progress within the first 2 weeks of an engagement, I offer a full refund — provided agreed-upon steps were followed.
