It’s no secret that AI has exploded over the last 12-18 months. Bergman Holt can help you strategically integrate it into your business - to stay ahead of the curve


The rise of the Chief AI Officer and other AI leadership roles

Artificial intelligence (AI) has its roots in the mid-20th century, emerging from the intersection of computer science, mathematics, and philosophy.

Progress has recently been accelerated through more client friendly interfaces allowing easy access to LLM’s and a drive towards generative AI.

We have seen with this a significant rise in the number of AI related roles, specifically at the most senior level the CAIO.

At Bergman holt we have been fortunate to be at the centre of this rise, with our close association with UKAI – the trade body for AI businesses in the UK and supporting PE backed businesses with these senior AI leadership roles.

Understanding what you
need and why

There are many flavours of the AI leader within UK businesses (or those who have adopted this role) and knowing what you need is key.

We use an AI Maturity Framework to help understand the AI Maturity of your organisation, this helps to drive the conversation on:

  • Responsibilities of the role

  • Level of seniority

  • Measures for the role

  • How the organisation brings on such a role

If you are thinking about the role but don’t know where to start, then get in touch and we will help you on that journey.

“We were looking to build out our AI Strategy and our focus was on bringing on an individual who was commercially focussed and could take an organisation and its leaders through the journey. Bergman Holt scoured the market and gave us some great options, we now have our AI leader on board and he is just what we needed.”

“We were a Series A backed business bringing together IoT and Web3, and Bergman Holt helped us structure ourselves for growth by asking us the hard questions & showing us what ‘great’ looks like. They then sourced my core leadership team and our entire commercial, back office and tech + product team across almost every timezone.”
