Our Story
It was November 30th, 2022—a date that would prove pivotal for the world's future. As ChatGPT made its global debut,there was zero fanfare in Trinidad and Tobago. Gerard was among the first to recognize both its promise and its potential threat to traditional business models in our region. Drawing inspiration from his favorite film "The Martian," he recalled the profound words that would shape his response to this technological revolution: "At some point everything's going to go south on you... you can either accept that or you can get to work.”
. But his early attempts to embrace AI met resistance—his entire staff, fearing the unknown, chose to leave rather than adapt. Yet this setback only strengthened his resolve. In early 2023, he founded Foundry Caribbean, establishing the region's first AI competency certification body. His vision was clear: the Caribbean needed not just to adapt to AI, but to embrace it thoughtfully and strategically.
This wasn't just about technology; it was about future-proofing an entire region.
Within months, Foundry Caribbean's AI Literacy program had trained over 100 professionals—from HSE specialists and attorneys to credit union teams. But Gerard saw that training was just the beginning. The Caribbean needed a more comprehensive solution: an organization that could both educate and guide businesses through the complexities of AI implementation.
Enter GNC Labs.
Today, GNC Labs stands as the Caribbean's premier applied intelligence company, born from the understanding that AI literacy isn't just another corporate checkbox—it's an existential necessity. We pair robust, certified AI training solutions with hands-on consulting services, helping organizations across Legal, Health & Safety, Administration, Manufacturing, and Oil & Gas sectors transform their operations.
Our mission transcends simple technology adoption. We're building a future where Caribbean businesses don't just survive the AI revolution—they lead it. Our programs combine deep technical insight with practical application, making advanced AI concepts accessible to professionals at all levels. Whether you're looking to streamline operations, enhance compliance, or drive innovation, our team of expert facilitators and industry leaders provides the knowledge and support you need.

Join us as we build a smarter, more resilient Caribbean—one innovation at a time.
