Looking forward, what can
you see the future holds for
simplehuman?
simplehuman will remain
focused on our core categories –
trash cans, sensor pumps, sensor
mirrors – while evolving smarter
products that help people to live
better.
Are there any plans for
further growth into new
markets?
I’m open to exploring new
markets. It’s all about moving
with the times and not looking
back. I want to keep helping
people become more efficient.
Looking back over the years
you have been in business,
is there anything you would
have done differently?
That’s a good question. I think
I could have spent more time
recruiting the very best people,
experts who could have given
valuable business insights a little
earlier. That might have helped
save some time in the long run.
What advice would you
give an up and coming
entrepreneur looking to
break through in their
respected market place?
Only do it you really love your
product or service. You’ve got
to know that it will really help
people and that you want it
in your own life. If you just
see a gap in the market
and think you can create
something that’s just ‘good
enough’, it might make a
bit of money but it won’t
give you the same sense of
fulfilment.
What’s next for Frank Yang?
I plan to keep loving what I
do – creating bigger and more
impactful products.
