About The Position

Presidio is seeking a VP to lead the AI Strategy & Advisory Consulting team within the newly established AI Strategy & Enterprise Architecture organization. This team serves as Presidio's consulting front end for AI — engaging clients at the executive and business level, defining AI strategy and use cases, building business cases and ROI models, facilitating workshops, and producing the advisory deliverables that set the foundation for Presidio's cross-practice solution delivery. The VP will lead a team of consultants including AI business strategists, consultants, architects, and advisors. The consulting team operates using a proven four-phase AI Journey methodology (Foundation, Clarify, Realize, Scale) and employs structured engagement entry points including AI Readiness Assessments, AI Strategy Workshops, Use Case Ideation sessions, and AI Risk Assessments. The VP will also own internal AI POV development — creating repeatable frameworks, playbooks, and materials that enable the broader Presidio field to advance the AI GTM motion. The consulting team stays engaged through delivery to ensure what is built and delivered aligns with what was proposed and sold.

• Outstanding verbal and written communication skills. Able to present to C-level clients and produce executive-quality deliverables. Experience as a thought leader (speaking, publishing, client advisory).
