The problem
Hiring a full-time CTO or head of AI takes months, costs a lot, and does not always make sense at your stage. Yet technical decisions pile up: which model provider, which architecture, which supplier, which priorities.
Making them without experienced guidance often costs far more than getting support.
What I take on
- Roadmap: aligned with your strategy, prioritised, kept up to date.
- Architecture decisions: technology choices, build or buy, cloud and model providers — every decision documented and justified.
- Steering: coordinating internal teams, scoping and reviewing suppliers, helping you hire.
- AI governance: usage policy, security, AI Act readiness.
- Link with leadership: clear, jargon-free reporting that supports decisions.
How it works
A rhythm agreed together: regular presence on set days, and availability in between for decisions that cannot wait. Priorities are reviewed every month.
The goal is not to become indispensable. When the time comes, I help you hire and set up your own technical leadership — the exit is part of the deal.
