Senior AI leadership for companies that need the judgment but can't justify the $300K+ salary.
CEO & founder, DAS Labs. 12 years shipping enterprise AI in surgery, nuclear, military, and operations.
A fractional CAIO gives you seasoned AI leadership — the strategic thinking, governance instincts, and vendor judgment — without the overhead of a full-time executive.
Evaluate your organization's data, infrastructure, and team maturity to determine where AI actually fits.
Cut through sales pitches. Know which AI tools and platforms are worth your money and which are theater.
Establish policies, evaluation criteria, and guardrails before AI decisions become expensive mistakes.
Know who to hire, what skills actually matter, and when to build versus buy.
Translate technical AI risk into language your board understands and can act on.
A sequenced plan that connects AI investments to business outcomes — not a slide deck that gathers dust.
You know AI matters. You don't have anyone internally who can separate signal from noise.
Big enough to benefit from AI, not big enough to justify a $300K+ Chief AI Officer.
You have engineers but no one with the AI architecture judgment to set direction.
You spent money. It didn't work. You need someone who knows why before you try again.
Your fractional CAIO isn't reading whitepapers — he's built and deployed AI in the most demanding environments on the planet.
From startups to nuclear plants. Production systems that run 24/7 in environments where failure isn't an option.
Co-founded a surgical AI platform selected for Apple Vision Pro. Real-time instrument detection in live surgery.
Real-time object recognition, multi-sensor spatial intelligence, 3D reconstruction. Original research, not licensed tech.
AI only where it creates differentiated value. Governance scaffolding governs probabilistic models. No AI for AI's sake.
Senior AI leadership on a monthly retainer. Backed by the full DAS Labs engineering team when you need to move from strategy to execution.
15 minutes. No pitch deck. Just an honest conversation about where AI fits in your business and what it would take to get it right.
