Gnock Fah’s “outsider” strategy has its supporters in some of the tech industry’s top entrepreneurs. Indeed, according to wealth expert and best-selling author Robert Frank, entering an industry as an outsider often has a large part to play in founders’ success.
“The reason that Jeff Bezos reinvented retailing is because he didn’t start out at Macy’s. The reason that Elon Musk has reinvented cars is because he didn’t start out at GM (General Motors),” Frank said during an episode of CNBC’s “Fortt Knox.”
That certainly seems to be the case for ex-financier Gnock Fah, whose business recently partnered with industry heavyweight, 37-year-old luxury hotel operator Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts, to give holidaymakers special access to Klook’s platform.
“All these guys tell me the best thing they brought to reinventing their industry and starting a brand new disruptor was (that) they didn’t know what couldn’t be done in that industry,” Frank noted on the show.
