There's A New C-Suite Role

A lot of people aren't aware there's a new C-Suite role that pays $285,000 to $465,000. It's called Chief AI Officer. In 2023, 11% of organisations had one. In 2026, IBM's CEO study puts it at 76% who have one or are hiring one. In 2025 alone, 94 Fortune 500 companies appointed one. A well-run search takes 19 to 22 weeks. Demand tripling. Supply that barely exists. No PhD required. No coding required. What the market pays $285K to $465K for is someone who understands how a business runs and can make AI answer to it. The 41 chapter playbook is $14.
