Fractional Chief AI Officer, Head of Partnerships, Creator, or Press. Project-based, retained, or as long as you need the firepower. We place a senior operator directly inside your marketing or executive team, plugged into your tools, your KPIs, and your Slack from week one. The cleanest way to add enterprise-grade execution without enterprise headcount.
AI strategy that ships. No deck-ware.
Karen embeds with your executive team as a fractional Chief AI Officer. We audit your current operations, identify the highest-ROI AI opportunities, build the implementation roadmap, and stay on through deployment. The same operating system that runs Lightmakers internally, applied to your business.
This isn't consulting. It's operator-grade execution placed inside your org, with the authority and accountability of a department head, at fractional cost. You get the seniority you need without committing to permanent overhead.
Fractional Operators only work when there's enough brand authority for an operator to actually operate. These structures don't.
Most fractional engagements fail because the operator is spread across a dozen clients and answering to none of them. Fractional Operators are senior, dedicated, and accountable to your KPIs the way a permanent hire would be. The difference is on the contract, not in the work.
The brief lands in your inbox the same hour it's written. The decisions get made on your timeline, not the agency's. The handoff (if and when it comes) is to a permanent hire you've coached together, not a stranger.
