The Leaders
Tomasz Achterberg
Economist & Furniture Maker
Rotterdam, Netherlands
Every chair is a small argument about what time is worth.
Tomasz was a senior economist at a central bank when he began building furniture at weekends. Today his workshop employs nine makers and publishes its full cost breakdown for every piece it sells.
His book The Price of Patience became an unlikely bestseller among founders and policy makers alike.
