A True Humanitarian Entrepreneur

I would like everyone to meet Mikkel Vestergaard Frandsen, world traveler, hitchhiker, future Nobel Prize winner. At 19, this guy went to Africa and began importing trucks to Lagos. That was around 1991, and it only lasted about two years. Thank God.

His family owned a textile company, and Mikkel made enough money in Africa to buy out other family members in 1997, giving him the reins as president and CEO of Vestergaard Frandsen. He has turned those textiles into a company that designs products to change the world. In fact, I think they should change their mission statement to, "We change the world."
