Alexis is an award-winning entrepreneur, with over 10 years of experience, currently running two SaaS businesses (AirManual and Spidergap) with remote & global teams, and supports others as a board member or consultant including well known companies like Sony PlayStation.

Through his work with many businesses from start-ups to PLCs, Alexis has seen that it often takes a huge amount of time for leaders to get employees up to full speed. So, at AirManual, they give teams a faster and more effective way of sharing their processes and onboarding. Employees are onboarded quicker, make fewer mistakes, and free up hundreds of hours of leadership time.

Over the last 15 years, Alexis has worked with hundreds of business leaders to save them 1,000s of hours of their time each year, help them work more effectively, and unlock their business’ growth. As a speaker and guest, he has been sharing his findings, and it’s had a huge impact on many businesses. 

For example, Alexis won the ‘Most valued content’ award in 2021 for his workshop at Dan Bradbury’s Success Mastermind (a community of 60+ small business owners), which led to over 30 business owners adopting the tools and processes recommended.

Alexis is a husband, and dad of two, and is passionate about balancing work alongside family life (and makes sure his team does too!) He also enjoys craft beer, whisky, skiing, skateboarding, dancing, gaming, golf, touch rugby and squash.
