vCAIO
Bring AI in on purpose, not by accident.
Your engineers are shipping AI features. Your sales team is using ChatGPT. Your finance team uploaded a spreadsheet to Claude last week. Somebody needs to govern this. That's the vCAIO.
The role
An AI leader, before you need to hire one.
Most mid-market companies aren't ready to hire a full-time Chief AI Officer. They are ready to be governed like one is in the room. That's what we do.
- AI use policy: acceptable-use, prohibited cases, escalation paths
- AI inventory and risk classification across business units
- Vendor model risk: third-party AI tooling reviews
- Board and executive briefings on AI risk posture
- Cross-functional alignment with Legal, HR, Engineering
- Tied to AIRA platform for evidence and reporting
The pairing
vCAIO + AIRA + Shield is the strongest "build a real AI program in 90 days" package. Advisory, platform, monitoring, the three pieces that have to ship together.
Who needs this
If your company has more than one AI use case in production and no single owner of AI risk, you need a vCAIO. Today, not next quarter.
