Tristan’s mission is to help create a world where every mind can thrive. His commitment to neurodiversity is rooted in his lived experience as an autistic person. This perspective shapes how he sees the world – and how he helps others see it, too. He believes organizations have much to gain from embracing neurodiversity, because when different ways of thinking come together, we see more. And often, it is those who think differently who spark innovation and progress.
In his work as a neurodiversity advocate and speaker, he combines lived experience with organizational insight gained over almost two decades working in leading international companies. He founded and led a neurodiversity employee resource group (ERG) that, in 2023, was named the company’s “most impactful ERG of the year.” In 2025, he was named an Inclusive30 leader by MT/Sprout, in recognition of his contributions to a more inclusive business world.
Alongside his neurodiversity work, he is also an passionate landscape photographer, capturing moments of stillness amid the rush of everyday life. His photography has received international recognition in the International Photography Awards, the Fine Art Photography Awards, and the Prix de la Photographie Paris.
Tristan lives in the Netherlands and holds a Master’s degree in psychology from Leiden University.
