AI Chief of Staff
We created the AI Chief of Staff seat for one reason: AI transformation needs more than technical expertise. It needs a strategic operator who can translate ambition into decisions, roadmap into execution, and experimentation into scalable business impact.
Before you hire one.
Isn't this just a CTO, a Chief AI Officer, or a consultant?
1
No. A CTO builds the technology. A consultant hands you a deck and leaves. The AI Chief of Staff sits between strategy and execution — a senior operator who owns AI end to end, drives adoption across the business, and stays accountable for the return. Not advice. Ownership.
Is it too early for us?
2
If AI is already on your agenda, it isn't too early — it's the least expensive moment to act. The role pays off whether you're scaling AI or taking the first step. The real cost is waiting another year for pilots that never reach production.
Do we have to hire permanently?
3
No. Three formats: permanent, embedded (a focused 6–12 month mission), or in-residence (a recurring cadence for boards and funds steering several companies). Start with the commitment that fits, convert when it makes sense.
Do you already have the right people?
4
We hold a pool of senior operators, already vetted and tracked, that we can mobilise immediately. But when a role calls for a rarer profile, finding that one gem is precisely our craft: a bespoke search that reaches leaders no database holds.
