Potentia Highlights

Potentia is Latin for power. We chose this name because the most powerful workforces we’ve helped to build are innovative, inspired, and inclusive.

Our mission is to help organizations to be their best by leveraging Neurodiverse talent through our STARS programs, and optimizing performance and culture through our EMPOWER suite of services. These ground-breaking, innovative offerings also deliver on our mission to provide more and better career opportunities for Neurodiverse individuals.

At Potentia, we don’t just train companies how to be ND-competent, we hire our own primarily ND teams to manage and deliver these services.

Our Leadership Team

About our CEO - Jeff Miller

With his son’s future at the front of his mind, Jeff spent a decade researching everything he could about Neurodiversity, including meeting with business and community leaders, and other professionals around the world. The knowledge he gained led him to blend his professional expertise with an extremely personal mission, and so he formed Potentia.

As a business leader with over two decades in the human capital space, CEO Jeff Miller has worked with executives across the globe. As a father to an autistic son, he also understands what a capable, yet untapped group that neurodivergent professionals are.

Director, Operations – Melissa Salazar

Over the past decade, Melissa has been a passionate advocate for inclusion and diversity within international technology companies. Leading the D&I regional chapter and initiating the first pilot for neurodiversity inclusion, Melissa has brought invaluable insights to the forefront of corporate culture, building on an exceptional background in project management and ND best practices.

Director, Strategic Programs – Dave Thompson

Dave has been a leader, innovator, advocate, corporate trainer, gifted public speaker and ally within the field of neurodiversity employment for over 10 years.

As someone diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia at age five, Dave has unique insight into how valuable and yet often undervalued, the neurodivergent community is.
