$15,000–$30,000/month · 6-Month Minimum · 8–12 Hours/Week

The Challenge

You've Decided to Invest in AI. Now Comes the Hard Part.

Vendors sell their solution, not your solution. Your team is stretched thin. Leadership wants results but doesn't have time to manage a technology transformation.

You need a strategic layer between your C-suite and the technical teams — someone who translates business goals into technology decisions, holds vendors accountable, and keeps the transformation on track.

WHAT WE DO

Everything a VP of AI Would Do — Without the $250K Salary

Leadership Meeting Participation

We attend your monthly executive and board meetings to align AI strategy with business priorities and ensure accountability.

Vendor Selection & Management

We evaluate proposals, negotiate contracts, and hold vendors to deliverables. No more relying on sales pitches to make technology decisions.

Transformation Roadmap Management

Milestones, KPIs, resource allocation, timeline adherence — we keep the entire program on track and course-correct when needed.

Board-Ready Reporting

Monthly reports that translate technical progress into business language your board and investors can understand and act on.

Team Training & Development

We train your leadership team to make AI-informed decisions independently over time. The goal is to build your internal capability.

Risk Mitigation

We identify risks before they become expensive problems — from vendor lock-in to data quality issues to organizational resistance.
