AI Advisory & Leadership

Fractional AI Leadership (CAIO-as-a-Service)

A Chief AI Officer for 2–3 days a week — accountable for strategy, governance and delivery outcomes.

Investment: from $40k AUD / month
Timeline: 6–12 months
Delivered by: Xenai Digital

What this engagement is

Embedded AI leadership for organisations that need the depth without the full-time hire. Works across strategy, governance and delivery — accountable for outcomes, not just opinions.

Who this is for

CEOs and leadership teams navigating AI decisions without a Chief AI Officer
Organisations in the middle of a material AI initiative needing senior oversight
Boards wanting an independent voice on AI risk and opportunity

What’s included

Embedded AI leadership, 2–3 days a week (or hourly for discrete questions)
Strategy, governance and delivery oversight as the engagement requires
Board and executive reporting in your cadence
Access to the broader network and benchmark data where helpful

How we’ll work together

1
Shape
Agree scope, cadence and accountability. Roll into existing governance rather than building parallel structures.
2
Operate
Week-in-week-out involvement at the decisions that matter. Monthly written update.
3
Step back
Transition to internal leadership once the capability is in place — or continue, month-to-month.

Frequently asked questions

How do we get started?: Book a free 30-minute consultation. We’ll confirm whether this is the right engagement for you. If it isn’t, we’ll tell you — and often suggest where to look next.
What if we need something slightly different?: The scope is a starting point, not a contract. We adapt once we’ve met the team and seen the real situation. Any scope changes are agreed in writing before we start.
Who actually delivers the work?: Engagements are delivered through Xenai Digital, with Robin leading the work. For larger pieces, specialist partners are brought in for specific disciplines — always named in the scope before we start.
What happens after we’re done?: You own everything we produce. We stay available for follow-up questions at no extra charge for 30 days. After that, we can roll into a lighter ongoing advisory arrangement if useful.
