Advisory · Fractional technology leadership
Advisory board seats and fractional technology leadership.
I help boards and leadership teams decide where AI belongs, what to build, and how to keep people in charge of the results.
Part-time, on a clear schedule, with a written scope. Based in San Diego. Happy to travel and to work with international teams.
Two ways to work together
Board seat or fractional executive.
- 01
Advisory board member
For companies building AI-enabled products or services, and for software and services firms in the SAP and enterprise applications market.
- Product and AI strategy: where AI earns its place, and where it doesn’t.
- Go-to-market for enterprise buyers: how they decide, and why deals stall.
- AI governance the board can understand: who approves what, and how you know it works.
- 02
Fractional CTO, CIO or Chief AI Officer
For mid-size companies that need senior technology leadership but not a full-time executive yet, or that are between hires.
- Technology and AI roadmap tied to business results.
- Architecture decisions, vendor selection and build-or-buy calls.
- Setting up the team, the delivery process and the controls, then handing over.

How it works
Simple, written down, reviewed often.
01
Talk
A 30-minute call about what you need and whether I am the right fit.
02
Scope
One page: the role, the time each month, and how we will measure success.
03
Work
Board meetings or set working days, plus help between them when it matters.
04
Review
Every quarter we check the results and decide to continue, change or stop.
I do not take on work that conflicts with my current commitments or their clients. If there is a conflict, I will say so in the first call.
Have a seat to fill, or a gap at the top?
Tell me about the company, the role and the timing. I reply to every serious message.
