Fractional Chief AI Officers
Access to the talent you need,
without the 750k+ pricetag
Powered by our network of 130k+ executives,
we have experts with a breadth of diverse experience
The competition for senior tech talent has never been tougher than it is today; tomorrow it will be tougher. Recent mid-career technical hires from Big Tech companies are commanding base salaries starting in the high six figures range and this is often times without significant business experience beyond their technical skills.
Fortune 100s, billion dollar hedge funds, and late-stage, venture-backed AI startups are all competing for the top talent in the world. Can you compete for these resources on the same level? And if you did retain one of these leaders full-time, is your organization ready to take full advantage of them?
IRPA AI’s Fractional Chief AI Officer program is specifically targeted at organizations looking to get into the AI game without betting the entire organization.
Our team of seasoned technology leaders not only understand the latest technologies, including Generative AI, Cloud Computing, Machine Learning and have an eye on what's next, they each also have decades of hands-on experience in designing, developing, deploying and managing operational IT solutions. Several have deep industry-specific domain expertise, and others bring deep knowledge of Finance, Legal, Compliance, Operations, Logistics & other key functions.
Our Fractional Chief AI Officer program gives you access to up to date, world-class technical expertise married with proven business acumen. Our team will guide your organization into understanding, evaluating and adopting AI at a pace and cost that your organization can accommodate, without making a bet-the-farm gamble on other, unproven talent.
