Interim AI Executive
Executive ownership of the AI agenda — quarter over quarter.
A senior interim mandate for the moments when the AI agenda can't wait for a permanent hire. I take executive accountability for product and growth AI work, unblock the team, set the cadence, and hand the operating model to your permanent hire when they arrive.
When it fits
- Between CPOs / CAIOs — you need senior cover while you search.
- The AI mandate has to land this quarter, not next year.
- A transformation or acceleration programme needs an accountable executive owner.
- The board has tasked leadership with AI but no one internal owns it.
What you get
- Full executive ownership of the AI agenda
- Direct leadership of product and growth teams on AI work
- Board-ready execution story each quarter
- Hiring and onboarding of the permanent replacement
- Shipped milestones and a working operating cadence by exit
- Onsite presence baked into the engagement rhythm
How it works
- 01
Month 1 — Own the agenda
Stakeholder alignment, quarterly milestones locked, team and vendor reality check, first wins identified.
- 02
Month 2–5 — Ship & build
Execute the plan. Iterate. Build team capability. Run the board / exec cadence. Hire and onboard the permanent replacement in parallel.
- 03
Month 6 — Transition
Handover to the permanent hire. Knowledge transfer. Operating cadence and documentation left running.
Pricing
Priced per engagement based on duration, depth of mandate, and onsite cadence. Interim engagements typically run 3–6 months at near full-time executive economics.
A 20-minute fit call is the fastest way to scope the engagement and land on a number that makes sense for both sides.
