Fractional Chief Automation Officer

Disciplined automation, measured results

I'm Andrew Mayfield, and I work with CEOs and leadership teams to establish the executive rhythm that turns automation intent into measurable results.

Most automation stalls — not for lack of technology, but for lack of executive rhythm. As a Fractional Chief Automation Officer, I work with CEOs and leadership teams to set that rhythm: clear outcomes, sensible guardrails, and a cadence that turns intent into results.

I work alongside CEOs and executive teams to:

  • Assess readiness across leadership, resources, and timelines.
  • Anticipate and mitigate the predictable failure modes of AI transformation.
  • Set ROI gates so every programme is measured, scaled, or stopped with clarity.
  • Translate capabilities into board‑ready strategy, risk, and reporting.
  • Deliver outcomes that reduce toil, improve quality, and strengthen competitive position.

Start with a calm plan

A short conversation, a few clear outcomes, and a sensible first step.
