The trainers
Taught by people who've run the businesses you work in
Every trainrs.ai trainer has significant, hands-on business experience — they're entrepreneurs and operators who've built and run real companies, and they use AI every day in their own work. No career presenters, no slide-readers.
Johnnie Ball
Lead Trainer · AI Strategy & Data
Founder of Axiiom; 15+ years building AI and data systems. MSc with Distinction in Machine Learning from UCL.
Johnnie has spent over 15 years building real AI and data systems for organisations — the practical, hands-on side of getting AI to actually work in a business. He teaches with a pragmatic, no-nonsense approach: no theory without a working example, and every session aimed at something you can use the next morning.
Gary Thompson
Trainer · AI for Founders & Operators
Seasoned entrepreneur — founder and operator of multiple businesses, using AI every day to build and run them.
Gary has spent his career starting and running businesses — the hands-on reality of sales, operations, marketing and getting things shipped. He now uses AI across all of it, every day, and teaches it the way he uses it: practical, built around real work, and focused on what actually moves a business forward.
We're growing the trainer roster — more profiles coming soon.
Are you a trainer? Come and teach with us.
We're building a bench of UK trainers and facilitators who use AI in their own work every day. If you already teach, coach or train — bring those skills and deliver our live AI sessions to people who'll actually use it.
