Bob King
CEO & Founder
Humanscale


Bob King founded Humanscale Corporation (www.humanscale.com) in 1983 and has since served as the company CEO. Under King, who holds a Bachelor of Science in economics from Boston University and an MBA from Columbia University, Humanscale has become the global market leader in workplace ergonomics. In addition to corporate headquarters in New York City, Humanscale maintains an international presence with 16 offices in North America, as well as locations in the U.K., France, the Netherlands, Italy, Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai, India, China and Mexico. Humanscale’s manufacturing facilities are located in Piscataway, NJ, Fresno, CA and Dublin, Ireland. Humanscale is the premier designer and manufacturer of ergonomic tools for the workplace, including high-performance seating, task lighting, monitor arms, medical carts, height-adjustable tables and other products that improve the quality of work life. I.D. Magazine selected Humanscale as one of the 10 most innovative companies worldwide in their annual issue celebrating individuals and organizations that “drive design.” In 2006, TIME Magazine singled out King in “Who’s Who: The Eco Guide,” in an issue focused on green living. Recently, King was presented with the Museum of Arts and Design 2011 Visionaries Award in recognition of leadership in design and commitment to environmental sustainability. Currently, King is supporting efforts with WWF to restore the once-rich ecosystem of Eastern Cambodia, an area suffering from intense poaching and inadequate government efforts to protect the remaining wildlife. The initiative preserves a diverse ecosystem, home to Asian leopards, elephants, wild cattle, deer and especially, tigers. These efforts will potentially increase the worldwide tiger population by more than 5%.
