Fractional Chief AI Officer · AI Transformation Advisor · Georgetown Faculty · Columbia Author
The Executive Partner
for Enterprise AI
Transformation
Nicole Reineke helps organizations move from AI experimentation to production-grade transformation — as a fractional Chief AI Officer, strategic advisor, and board-level voice on AI governance and innovation.
“AI is no longer a question of whether to adopt — it’s a question of whether your organization will lead or be left behind.”
Nicole Reineke is one of the world’s most decorated AI executives — a Chief AI Officer, Georgetown faculty member, Columbia University Press author, and holder of 59 granted US patents placing her in the top 1% of inventors globally.
She was the first woman to achieve Senior Distinguished Engineer status at Dell Technologies. Over 20+ years she has led production AI deployments impacting 10M+ endpoints, built global innovation teams, and invented agentic AI systems now live in commercial environments.
Through fractional and advisory engagements, Nicole partners directly with executive teams and boards — bringing the same operational rigor she applies inside global enterprises to organizations that need senior AI leadership without a full-time hire.
