Neil Milliken
Non-Executive Director
Neil is a member of the Genius Within Board (Non Exec) and former co-chair. He supports the Senior Leadership Team with advice and governance and lends his experience outside of Genius Within to help the organisation to grow and thrive. Neil has 24 years of experience working in the field of Accessibility, Neurodiversity and Assistive Technology and loves working with Genius Within as the organisation really lives to its values. He joined the board as he could see the great impact that Genius Within was having on the life and career prospects of Neurodivergent people. Neil is excited by the huge potential of tools like Genius Finder to really help individuals and employers excel.
Outside of his board role, Neil is the Global Head of Accessibility & Digital Inclusion for the multinational technology services company, Atos. He is Dyslexic and ADHD and, as a long term user of assistive technology, he has been shouting at computers for over two decades, it’s only recently that they have started answering him back! Neil is looking forward to seeing the growth in technologies that can support ND people and the uptick in interest & recognition of neurodiversity as a business topic.
