AI Fractional CTO GenAI Strategy & Implementation
Transform your business with AI-native technology leadership. I help companies navigate the GenAI landscape, implement LLMs effectively, and build AI strategies that deliver real business value - not hype.
The AI Leadership Gap
78% of Fortune 500 companies now employ AI consultants, yet only 11% of business leaders feel prepared to leverage AI effectively.
The gap isn't about technology - it's about leadership. Companies are rushing to adopt AI without understanding what problems it actually solves, leading to expensive failures and missed opportunities.
An AI-native Fractional CTO bridges this gap. I've built recommendation engines, content discovery platforms, and ML systems at scale. I know what works, what doesn't, and how to avoid the expensive mistakes that derail AI initiatives.
Why AI-Native CTOs Are Different
Generic Consultants
Recommend AI without implementation experience. PowerPoint strategies that never ship.
AI-Native CTO
Built ML systems in production. Knows what actually works at scale. Practical roadmaps that deliver ROI.
AI Services
Practical AI leadership that delivers business value, not just technology demos.
GenAI Strategy & Roadmap
Identify where GenAI can genuinely help your business. Cut through the hype to find practical applications with real ROI.
LLM Implementation
Integrate GPT-4, Claude, or open-source models into your products. RAG architectures, fine-tuning, and production deployment.
Build vs Buy Decisions
Should you build custom AI or use existing tools? I help you make informed decisions based on your specific needs and resources.
AI Team Building
Hire your first ML engineers or data scientists. Define roles, interview candidates, and build a high-performing AI team.
AI Due Diligence
For investors evaluating AI startups or companies being acquired. Technical assessment of AI capabilities and risks.
Responsible AI Frameworks

AI Use Cases by Industry
Practical AI applications I've implemented across different sectors.
AI for Fintech
Fraud detection, credit scoring, customer service automation, and compliance monitoring. Navigate FCA and EU AI Act requirements.
AI for E-commerce
Product recommendations, personalization engines, dynamic pricing, inventory forecasting, and visual search. My Utelly background in content discovery directly applies.
AI for Media & Content
Content discovery, recommendation systems, automated tagging, and personalization. This is my core expertise from building Utelly's platform.
AI for SaaS Products
Intelligent features, automated workflows, predictive analytics, and AI-powered customer support. Help your product compete in an AI-first world.
My AI Background
At Utelly, I co-founded and served as CTO of a content discovery platform that helped millions of users find streaming content across services. The core of our technology was recommendation engines and personalization - real AI/ML in production at scale.
We were acquired by Synamedia, validating our AI approach. This wasn't proof-of-concept AI - it was production ML serving real users, handling the messy reality of data quality, model drift, and system reliability.
Since then, I've helped companies across fintech, e-commerce, and media implement AI strategies that actually ship and deliver ROI. I know the difference between AI that demos well and AI that works in production.
