We help people with autism find suitable employment
THE FOUNDERS OF AUTIMATIC
"We draw inspiration from our own life story as parents of a child with autism. We share the same dream - to empower the talents of people with autism, for the benefits of our society."
Geert has worked for more than 25 years in CTO and CEO roles leading a staff of more than 300 people.
As an entrepreneur, he co-acquired a technology company active in the payment technology.
His 24yr old son with autism inspired him to find innovative solutions to create new job opportunities for people with autism.
This resulted in founding Autimatic in order to help people and society.
