Alexis Kingsbury is an entrepreneur, speaker and author who helps business owners reduce their dependence on day-to-day operations. He co-founded AirManual and Spidergap and hosts the De-Stress Your Business podcast. His work connects practical management systems with team development and the use of artificial intelligence.
A former management consultant, he co-founded Spidergap with Paddy Mann in 2010. Its work in 360-degree feedback focuses on turning colleagues’ perspectives into priorities for personal development. Through AirManual, he helps organizations make processes easier to follow, improve onboarding and delegate work more effectively.
In 2025, Kingsbury created Accrual Intentions, an experimental, fictional accountancy practice featuring eleven AI colleagues. The project and accompanying book explore the capabilities and limitations of AI in professional services, alongside the continuing need for human judgment.
His talks combine humor, business examples and practical methods. They address entrepreneurs, leadership teams and accountancy practice owners seeking to improve team performance and support growth without making the business increasingly dependent on its founder.
