An accountable officer, not a consultant with a deck.
A Renzo fractional executive sits inside your organization, owns the mandate, and answers to your board. When the engagement ends, the capability stays.
The executive you need, for the mandate you have.
Engagements are scoped to the decision, not to a headcount. Most run one to three days a week, with a defined end state.
Fractional CAIO
AI strategy, governance, and adoption. Owns the AI mandate end to end — including the decision not to do it.
- AI strategy and use-case prioritization
- AI governance operating model
- Model inventory, risk, and accountable owners
- ROI modelling and pre-commitment diligence
A CAIO mandate is usually warranted when:
- AI initiatives span multiple business units.
- Nobody has authority across technology, risk, legal and operations.
- The board wants one accountable executive.
- AI investment is increasing without portfolio discipline.
- Governance exists, but nobody owns operating it.
Most CAIO mandates begin with an AI Use Inventory — two to three weeks, before the mandate is scoped. It tells us what the mandate should cover.
Discuss a CAIO mandate →Fractional CISO
Security posture, risk, and compliance for organizations that can't carry a full-time security executive.
- Security posture assessment and roadmap
- Zero-trust and identity architecture
- Regulatory and compliance readiness
- Incident response and business continuity
A CISO mandate is usually warranted when:
- Security decisions are distributed without executive ownership.
- AI adoption creates new identity, access, data, or third-party exposure.
- The board needs cyber risk translated into business decisions.
- A major resilience, security, or compliance program needs an accountable executive.
If the question is what AI is running and what it can reach, that's an AI Use Inventory rather than a mandate.

Architecture, engineering, and platform. For organizations building product, or rebuilding the platform underneath it.

An executive with a bench behind them.
Advice you can't execute is just an opinion. Every fractional mandate can draw on the Renzo delivery practices — AI, infrastructure, security, and managed services — so strategy and build never drift apart.
