Fractional AI CIO
Hiring a full-time AI lead makes no sense for most SMEs. Leaving the subject to suppliers does not either. A fractional role gives your leadership team a counterpart who understands both the systems and the job of running a company.
The role
What is covered
Roadmap
Which cases to address, in what order, with what budget. Updated every quarter with the executive committee.
Suppliers and tools
Specifications, selection, negotiation, acceptance testing. Deliveries are checked against what actually changed.
Review of what is running
Every month: errors, costs, drift, incidents, and the checks they led to. A report the leadership team can read.
Framework and rules
AI usage policy, data rules, ranking of actions by reversibility, training obligations.
Teams
Support for managers, upskilling for teams, internal champions.
Trade-offs
A reasoned opinion when a decision comes up: buy or build, speed up or stop.
Why this profile
A former CIO who became managing director
The founder of NES Studio has held both roles at Fridge & Go, Petit Forestier group: head of information systems, then managing director. He knows both sides of the table — the one that asks for results and the one that has to deliver them.
Today he runs AI agents in production on his own operations. The recommendations come from there, not from reading the news.
