Signals Bold Expansion into Fractional AI Leadership for Franchises
Train In Your Lane, the franchise industry’s go-to partner for hands-on AI training and transformation, today announced the appointment of Anoop Singh as Chief Executive Officer. Singh, co-founder of legal AI company StrongSuit (which recently secured $10 million in Series Seed funding led by Cervin Ventures), brings a track record of building AI solutions that deliver real operational impact, not just theoretical possibilities.
Ingrid Schneider, who founded Train In Your Lane and will transition to a strategic advisory role, commented: “When I started this company, my mission was simple: help ordinary people do extraordinary things with AI. Anoop doesn’t just understand that mission, he’s lived it. He built an AI company in legal tech that actually works. Now he’s going to help us scale that same practical, no-BS approach across franchising.”
A Bigger Vision: From Training to Transformation
Under Singh’s leadership, Train In Your Lane will expand its signature EAT model, Education, Application, Transformation, with a major push into fractional AI executive services. The company will offer franchisors access to Fractional Chief AI Officers who embed directly within organizations, providing strategic AI leadership without the full-time executive price tag.
“Most AI training is obsolete by the time you watch the video,” said Singh. “That’s why we do live, interactive workshops where teams build prompts and solve real problems in real-time. We don’t teach technology, we teach intuition. But training alone isn’t enough. Franchises need AI leadership and change management to actually transform their operations. That’s the gap we’re filling.”
Results That Speak for Themselves
Train In Your Lane’s clients, including Ben & Jerry’s, Ace Handyman Services, Empower Brands, Threshold Brands, Home Helpers Home Care, and Wild Birds Unlimited, have reported measurable outcomes: 2.4x productivity gains versus competitors, 42% operational cost reductions, and potential annual savings of $187,500 per 25 employees saving just one hour per day.
Why It Matters Now
According to recent industry data, 100% of CEOs expect AI disruption, yet 98% of teams remain untrained. “You’re not just ‘missing out,’” noted Schneider. “You’re actively falling behind the AI adoption leaders. The math is simple: the cost of inaction is high.”
“Sometime over the last weeks, there’s been a leap forward in AI and agents” Singh noted. “AI social forums have been abuzz. McKinsey shared the other week that 50% of work can now be automated. We’re at an inflection point because automating workflows is now so straightforward and inexpensive. At Train In Your Lane, we’re here to help franchises lean into this disruption that could happen faster than people think.”
What’s Next
Train In Your Lane will debut its expanded Fractional Chief AI Officer program and enhanced AI Transformation services at the International Franchise Association (IFA) Convention in 2026. The company plans to double its client roster by year-end while maintaining its commitment to live, hands-on training that builds lasting AI intuition.
