Executive AI Advisor & Fractional AI Leader at AI Today Consulting
Based in United States · 25+ years experience
Summary
Executive AI Advisor & Fractional AI Leader for SMBs | Board & C-Suite Counsel on Strategy, Risk, and Transformation for Sustainable Performance
About
I advise CEOs, boards, and senior leadership teams on how to apply AI and advanced technology in ways that are strategically aligned, commercially grounded, and sustainable as organizations scale.
As an Executive AI Advisor and Fractional Technology Leader, I work at the leadership level to help SMBs navigate AI-driven change across strategy, risk, and operating models. My role is to ensure technology and AI decisions reinforce business priorities, strengthen governance, and support long-term resilience.
I guide leadership teams through the decisions that matter most, including where AI creates real value, how operating models should evolve, and what must be in place before automation and transformation can succeed. The focus is clarity, alignment, and disciplined execution at the executive level.
Through The AI Advantage System™, I provide ongoing executive counsel, transformation road-mapping, and selective hands-on leadership during critical phases of digital and AI-driven change. Engagements can be remote or in person and are typically structured as advisory retainers to provide continuity, clear accountability, and measurable progress over time.

How fractional CTO engagements with Ronnie work
Ronnie works on a fractional basis — typically one to three days a week for an agreed engagement length — so you get senior technical leadership without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. Engagements commonly include technical due diligence, board reporting, engineering team leadership, technology strategy, architecture reviews, hiring support, and stepping in as interim CTO during a transition.
