George Pantazis is the CEO of Pan Software and Riskware – Australia’s leading integrated GRC and Safety platform. With over 30 years of experience spanning risk management, enterprise software and organisational safety, George has dedicated his career to solving one of the most persistent challenges in business: making risk visible, manageable and actionable for every organisation.

Long before artificial intelligence became an industry buzzword, George was quietly building it into the foundation of Riskware. Over three years ago, he made the strategic decision to integrate an initial AI model into the platform – SOCRAITES – recognising that the future of risk management would belong to organisations that could move from reactive documentation to intelligent, real-time insight.

That conviction has now culminated in HAZSCAN – Riskware’s groundbreaking AI-powered hazard identification tool and the first of its kind built for the Australian market. Point a camera at any environment and HAZSCAN identifies every hazard, prioritises each one by risk level and automatically documents it into the Riskware risk register, without a single manual entry.

Under George’s leadership, Pan Software has built what no other Australian software company has achieved – a single, unified platform that brings governance, risk, compliance and safety together, with AI at its core.
