Fractional AI Leadership

What this is

Head of AI is the fastest-growing executive role in Germany. But most mid-market companies aren't ready for a full-time hire — they need the capability now, not in 6 months when the recruiter finds someone.

We fill that gap on a fractional basis. Same strategic capability, same decision-making authority, without the full-time commitment.

What you get

• AI strategy ownership — someone accountable for where AI gets deployed, how it's governed, and how the organization responds when it fails.
• Use case prioritization — not every process should be automated. We decide what matters, what's feasible, and what to do first.
• Vendor evaluation — independent assessment of AI tools and platforms without vendor bias.
• Team development — building internal AI capability so the organization can eventually hire a full-time leader from a position of strength.
• Board-ready reporting — translating AI initiatives into language executives and board members understand.

How it works

Typical engagement: 2-3 days per week for 3-6 months. We operate as part of your leadership team, attending relevant meetings, making decisions, and being accountable for outcomes.

The engagement ends when you're ready to hire a full-time Head of AI — and we help you define the role, evaluate candidates, and hand over the strategy.

Who this is for

Mid-market companies (200-2000 employees) in the DACH region who:

• Have posted a Head of AI role but can't find the right person fast enough
• Have AI budget but no internal expertise to spend it wisely
• Need someone to own the AI agenda at the executive level now, not next quarter
• Want to build internal capability before committing to a full-time hire
