The Manufacturing Executive · 17 Jan 2023 · 37m · Episode 137

What this episode covers

Peter Mann, founder and CEO of Oransi (now part of Avimore Technologies), discusses his journey as a late-diagnosed autistic entrepreneur and the stigma surrounding the condition. He explains how his bottom-up thinking style and hyper-focus contributed to his success in building Oransi, an air purification company, particularly during the pandemic-driven market shift. Mann advocates for workplace inclusivity, suggesting that providing interview questions in advance and focusing on skills rather than social performance can help autistic candidates succeed.
