Your Fractional Chief AI Officer

Dr. Achim Struve serves as Fractional Chief AI Officer for technology-driven organizations. PhD in Engineering (Summa Cum Laude, KIT), 3+ years as Head of AI & Token Engineering at Outlier Ventures, 50+ organizations advised at C-level, 30+ systems designed and deployed. AI transformations stall at the human layer: misaligned leadership, teams that resist, implementations that don't survive contact with real workflows. As your Fractional CAIO, he takes ownership of the full AI function: from leadership alignment to shipped production systems with measurable results.

AI Strategy & Leadership Alignment

Your CAIO translates "AI-first" from a direction into a concrete operational plan. Aligns leadership on priorities, ownership, and what not to automate.

AI Transformation Diagnostic

Structured assessment of organizational AI readiness, a prioritized opportunity map with quantified value, and a concrete 90-day action plan. Fixed scope.

Fractional CAIO Retainer

A named Chief AI Officer for your organization without the full-time cost. Strategy, team leadership, cross-departmental coordination, KPI accountability. From 3 months.

AI Team Leadership

Your CAIO leads or builds out the AI function. Defining priorities, establishing working processes, managing cross-departmental interfaces, and driving adoption.

Production System Oversight

Your CAIO owns the design and delivery of AI systems tied directly to business KPIs. From data structuring and architecture to production deployment and measurement.

Vendor & Build Decisions

Your CAIO evaluates build vs. buy, manages AI vendor relationships, and ensures technical decisions align with business strategy, not the other way around.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it cost?

The AI Transformation Diagnostic starts at EUR 2,000 as a fixed-scope engagement. The Fractional CAIO Retainer runs EUR 7,000–12,000/month depending on scope and commitment level. In the free strategy call, we determine which engagement model fits your situation.

Do we need an existing AI team?

No. That's exactly the gap a Fractional CAIO fills. I lead or build out the AI function within your organization: defining priorities, coordinating cross-functional work, and managing external vendors where needed.

How quickly do we see results?

The Diagnostic delivers a prioritized action plan within 2–3 weeks. Under a CAIO retainer, first production systems typically go live within 6–8 weeks, with measurable improvements from the first month.

Does it work with our existing systems?

Yes. AI systems are designed to integrate with your existing infrastructure, whether that's cloud platforms, SaaS tools, APIs, or legacy systems. Part of the Diagnostic is mapping integration requirements.

Is it GDPR-compliant?

Yes. All implementations follow data protection requirements. Depending on your needs, we can use European hosting, local processing, or customer-managed infrastructure.
