Fractional CTO & Certified Chief AI Officer (CAIO)

Guiding organizations through technology strategy, AI adoption, and enterprise transformation.


Executive Leadership on Demand

At S.C. Ashley & Associates, I provide executive-level leadership without the overhead of a full-time hire. As a Fractional Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Certified Chief AI Officer (CAIO), I help organizations bridge the gap between innovation and execution—turning strategy into measurable results.
 

With a Doctorate in Business Administration, specializing in Information Technology Management (DBA/ITM), and a CAIO certification from the University of Miami Herbert School of Business, my role blends boardroom strategy, real-world AI application delivery, and organizational readiness.
 

I bring 20+ years of global IT leadership, multiple patent-pending innovations (dynamic access control, blockchain data integrity, ghost archival), and a track record of designing, developing, and delivering enterprise-ready AI solutions.


Engagement Options


Hourly Advisory

On-demand executive guidance, technical due diligence, or board advisory calls. Starting at $500/hr

1–2 days per week of ongoing executive leadership: technology roadmaps, AI governance, vendor oversight, and digital transformation strategy. Starting at $25,000/month

Board & Investor Advisory

Hybrid Cash + Equity

Available for select startups and scale-ups where I serve as a fractional executive and strategic growth partner. Negotiable (typically 1–2% equity)
