BOARD-LEVEL · LIGHT-TOUCH
Advisory / Board
Senior technology and AI judgment on tap — without the operational load.
The problem
A CEO, board or founder wants mature technology judgment available: a sparring partner on big decisions and board-level oversight of technology and AI — but without operational involvement. Especially on large AI investments, where it's easy to overpay for hype.
What's included
- Monthly or quarterly strategic counsel
- Board-level technology and AI oversight
- Review of major technology and AI investments and vendor deals
- Mentoring your internal technology leader
- AI: a sober voice separating signal from hype; review of major AI investments including GPU and datacenter capex; mentoring the team on agentic systems
How it works
- 01
A light, regular cadence — a call or session each month or quarter — plus availability for the key decisions.
- 02
Ad-hoc reviews of major investments or vendor deals as they arise.
What you get
De-risked big decisions and a credible technology and AI voice at board level.
Format & pricing
Light retainer or board seat, a few hours a month.
From $5,000 / mo
