FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Toronto – September 30, 2026) TopFractionalExecs, a fractional executive and transformation advisory firm serving scaling B2B SaaS, FinTech, InsurTech, and Financial Services companies, and Ainfore, a forecasting and decision-science firm, are pleased to announce a strategic partnership to help mid-market executives cut through AI guesswork and move from uncertainty to a governed, working AI initiative. Together, the two firms will offer a single, comprehensive engagement that addresses AI strategy, governance, and implementation as one connected process rather than three separate hires.
The partnership responds to a gap many CEOs and COOs of mid-market companies are feeling directly: pressure to adopt AI from boards, competitors, and their own teams, without a clear view of where AI would genuinely pay off, whether their data can support it, or what to say no to. Rather than open-ended discovery or a fragmented mix of strategy consultants, technical vendors, and governance specialists, the joint offering gives leadership teams one clearly scoped path from question to roadmap.
In three weeks, the Executive AI Diagnostic gives leadership teams an answer they can act on: where AI pays off, where it doesn’t, and what to fix first. TopFractionalExecs brings executive alignment, stakeholder interviews and governance; Ainfore brings data readiness and decision strategy: which decisions the numbers can carry, and what to fix before anything is built. The result is a prioritized AI opportunity map, a data-readiness assessment, a governance and risk snapshot, and a 12-month roadmap — including what not to pursue — delivered together in a single executive readout. The diagnostic is built for mid-market leadership teams in both firms’ core markets: scaling SaaS, fintech and financial services companies, and manufacturers, distributors and logistics operators.
“Most executive teams we work with don’t need to be convinced AI matters — they need someone to tell them where it actually pays off in their operation, and just as importantly, where it doesn’t,” said Maroquine Aziz, Founder & CEO of TopFractionalExecs. “That’s a transformation problem before it’s a technology one — it takes the same discipline as any operational change we lead: clear priorities, the right people at the table, and governance built in from day one. Pairing that with Ainfore’s technical depth means our clients get a single, accountable path from question to roadmap, instead of stitching together a strategy firm, a vendor, and a compliance review on their own.”
“Mid-market leaders don’t have an AI problem; they have a trust problem with their own numbers. I spent twelve years building forecasts where the hard part was never the model, it was whether anyone could rely on the data underneath. That’s what this diagnostic settles first. In three weeks, a leadership team knows which of their numbers will carry a decision and which won’t, and that answer decides everything else: where AI helps, where it doesn’t, and what to fix before spending a dollar on a build. Maro’s team gets the leadership aligned on the question; we answer it with their own numbers,” said Luisa Ferreira, Founder & CEO, Ainfore.
The Executive AI Diagnostic is positioned as a starting point, not a commitment to build: a structured, three-week engagement that functions as due diligence before any implementation work begins. Mid-market CEOs and COOs across Toronto, the GTA, and Canada can use the diagnostic to pressure-test where AI would genuinely pay off, confirm their data can support it, and identify what to say no to, before committing budget to a build. TopFractionalExecs and Ainfore will continue to expand the partnership’s scope based on client outcomes from this initial offering, with implementation and ongoing advisory work available as a deliberate next step for clients who want to act on their roadmap.
