We are proud to announce that Lucia Business Partners has been spotlighted by Digital Reference as one of the Best AI & Machine Learning Consulting Services in Australia and among the Best Fractional Chief AI Officer Services in Australia.

This recognition reflects our ongoing mission to help operationally complex businesses harness the power of AI for real transformation, measurable outcomes, and sustainable growth.

Who We Serve and How We Work

At Lucia Business Partners, we specialize in AI transformation strategy and execution for industries where operational complexity is the norm—such as industrial services, utilities, logistics, and asset management.

Through our outsourced CAIO services, we act as embedded partners to leadership teams, ensuring every engagement is grounded in strategy and focused on commercial value. We use structured data maturity models to help businesses scale AI adoption responsibly, ensuring transformation goes beyond experimentation and delivers tangible results.

Our boutique advisory approach combines pragmatic consulting with fractional AI leadership—bridging the gap between the C-suite and engineering teams to accelerate decision-making and value capture.

The Role of Fractional CAIO Consultants Today

The role of Fractional Chief AI Officer consultants has never been more important. Many mid-market and enterprise firms recognize the potential of AI but aren’t ready for a full-time executive hire. By working with a fractional CAIO expert, businesses gain clarity on strategy, governance, and execution without the overhead of a permanent position.

At Lucia Business Partners, we provide this bridge—guiding organizations through AI adoption, data readiness, and governance frameworks that deliver sustainable competitive advantage.

Meet Our Founder: Leadership That Lasts

Lucia Business Partners was founded by Alastair Cranswick, who brings more than 20 years of experience in consulting, commercial strategy, and executive leadership.

Alastair’s leadership blends top-down strategic clarity with grounded, hands-on problem-solving. Known for his client-first approach, he has built a reputation for delivering meaningful transformation rather than simply producing dashboards.

On LinkedIn, he often shares insights on AI’s role in risk, governance, and operational resilience, reflecting his belief that AI adoption should always align with an organization’s strategic goals.
