The hardest part of adopting AI agents isn't the tech — it's finding the person who owns it. This network exists to solve that. It's a curated, independently vetted pool of agent-leadership talent: full-time Heads of Agents, fractional leaders, and implementation partners who ship.
Listing here is free for candidates, and there is no pay-to-rank. We make money on the demand side — from companies hiring — which is exactly why we can keep the bar high. Read the full Verified Head of Agents standard to see what we check and what verification does (and does not) mean.
| Implementation Partner | Independent Specialist | Fractional Head of Agents | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | End-to-end builds where you need a full team | Well-scoped tasks requiring specific expertise | Owning the agent function part-time |
| Typical cost | $15K–$250K+ per project | $50–$400/hour | $4K–$20K/month |
| Timeline | 4 weeks to 6 months | 1–12 weeks | Ongoing (3–12+ months) |
| Engagement | Project-based or retainer | Hourly or fixed-price | Monthly retainer, 8–32 hrs/month |
| You get | A build team: engineers, PM, QA | One specialist, direct access | An owner and leader, not a coder |
We publish members only once they clear the full vetting bar: agents shipped to production, reference checks, and a practical assessment. We'd rather show you an empty list than an unvetted one. If you're hiring, we can still generate a shortlist for you today from candidates in active review.
