Best fractional CAIOs for $20M to $100M companies
3 firms and practitioners offer fractional CAIO work and say they serve $20M to $100M companies. Listings that do not state a revenue band are left off, so the role page is longer. First on the list are Leadership Services, Valerian Valkin, Fractional Chief AI Officer and Faye. 2 publish a monthly fee, from $2,280 to $6,500 a month. The other one quotes.
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 $20M to $100M companies. 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.
