Geert Pauwels is CEO and co-founder of Autimatic, a Belgian scale-up that combines AI, process optimisation and neurodiverse talent. After more than 25 years in international technology and executive leadership roles, he decided to leverage his experience as a business leader to address a major societal challenge: unlocking the vast and often untapped potential of people on the autism spectrum in the labour market.
Today, through Autimatic, Geert works with leading organisations to streamline administrative, data-driven and quality control processes. His story demonstrates that true innovation is driven not only by technology, but also by rethinking how we recognise, develop and deploy talent.
