Position: Head of AI Transformation
Location: Charlotte, NC
Salary: $158,000
Assignment Timescale: 4 Weeks
Result: Completed
Context
As AI moves from experimentation to everyday business, software companies are under pressure to turn the hype into tangible results. For private equity-backed businesses in particular, the focus is on using AI to improve productivity, strengthen customer experience and support faster, more profitable growth.
Challenge
Our client, a private equity-backed SaaS business, wanted to appoint its first Head of AI Transformation. They needed someone who could look beyond the technology and identify where AI would make the biggest commercial impact. The successful individual would be responsible for building the roadmap, gaining buy-in across the business and embedding AI into functions including Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Operations and Finance.
Solution
Consulting Point mapped the market for leaders who had successfully introduced AI into growing software businesses. Rather than focusing on technical specialists, we targeted executives who had delivered genuine business change, combining operational leadership with a practical understanding of AI adoption. This approach produced a strong shortlist of candidates with the credibility to engage both leadership teams and technical stakeholders.
Outcome
The search resulted in the successful appointment of a Head of AI Transformation with a proven record of leading business-wide change. With the right leadership now in place, the company is well positioned to accelerate AI adoption, improve operational performance and create a stronger platform for future growth.
