Fractional Chief of Staff / Strategic Advisor

About the role

Fractional Chief of Staff / Strategic Advisor – Growing AI Business (Part-Time)

About Us

I’m an entrepreneur based in Atlanta, GA, running a growing AI-focused business with a global team of 5–7 people.

We operate across both products and services, including AI apps, technology advisory, solution architecture and development, training, content creation, and events.

We’re currently experiencing a growth spurt, with multiple opportunities, projects, and initiatives happening simultaneously.

I’m looking for an experienced Fractional Chief of Staff / Strategic Advisor who can help me navigate this next stage of growth.

I need someone who can help me think through decisions, challenge my assumptions, bring structure to the business, and ensure we’re focused on the right priorities.

Ideally, you’ve worked with founders or CEOs of growing businesses and understand the challenges of scaling a small, entrepreneurial organization.
