ROMI HAAN
Citizenship/Residence
South Korea
Romi Haan, the inventor of a steam floor
cleaner for Asian homes believed so
strongly in her home appliance company
that she was willing to lose everything
to get it off the ground. She mortgaged
her own home in 1999 to manufacture
and market it. Today she is the founder
and CEO of Haan Corp., a multi-national
company that produces a wide array of
household and beauty products.
Challenging culture where for generations
before her, women did not launch
businesses on their own, this successful
businesswoman continues to garner
attention around the world.
