Frank Wang
CEO & Founder, DJIThis year’s recipient is Frank Wang, founder of DJI, a world-leading manufacturer of civilian drone. He has successfully demonstrated the important relationship between strong corporate leadership and design excellence in his business.
Frank Wang, known as the “Lord of the Drones”, founded DA-Jiang Innovations (DJI) in 2006. He built the first drone prototype in his dorm room. By later 2012, Wang finally came up with a successful design for the first ready-to-fly, preassembled quadcopter. Following its launch in 2013, the model quickly became a market hit. Besides drones, DJI also design and manufacture camera gimbals, flight platforms, cameras, propulsion systems, camera stabilizers, and flight control systems.
