Fractional & Interim CIO and Chief AI Officer for private-equity-backed and mid-market companies.
Alejandro Mainetto is a fractional and interim CIO and Chief AI Officer who steps into PE-backed and mid-market companies for defined, time-bound mandates across three domains: AI strategy, governance, and product development; technology strategy and modernization; and carve-outs and integration. He serves companies in the $50M–$500M range across the United States, based in Florida.
Where AI creates real value, what not to touch, and how to govern it safely — model strategy, data readiness, build-versus-buy, and the governance guardrails a board can stand behind. This extends into AI-enabled product development: turning the strategy into shipped capability, not just policy. For most mid-market companies the right form is fractional — senior judgment applied to the few decisions that matter, without a full-time executive hire.
Translating the investment thesis into a technology plan: where IT spend is being wasted, which systems block growth, what to modernize first, and how to sequence it against the hold period. The output is measurable — cost taken out, risk reduced, capacity added. I have led assessments that surfaced seven-figure savings and the modernization programs that delivered them.
In a carve-out, the acquired business often loses its parent's IT on a fixed TSA clock and needs a standalone technology organization stood up fast — infrastructure, core systems, security, vendors, and team — while the business keeps running. On the buy side, post-acquisition integration folds an acquired company's technology into the platform cleanly. The goal is a stable platform the company owns outright, on schedule.
