Best fractional CAIOs for companies over $100M in revenue
3 firms and practitioners offer fractional CAIO work and say they serve companies over $100M in revenue. Listings that do not state a revenue band are left off, so the role page is longer. First on the list are Alex Goryachev, Fractional Chief AI Officer, EPC Group and Faye. None of them publishes a fee, so the first call sets the price.
The usual trigger is a team already using AI tools without a policy, a founder buying automation from several vendors with no one judging the results, or a board asking for an AI plan. Most fractional CAIOs publish nothing; the few published retainers run about $1,750 to $12,000 a month, and fixed-fee AI audits of two to four weeks run roughly $3,000 to $10,000.
How this list is built. Every firm and practitioner here offers fractional CAIO work on its own site and says it serves companies over $100M in revenue. Order is editor's pick, then listings that name the revenue band, then a published fee, then name. Nobody pays to appear or to move up. Full methodology.
