Timur Yumusaklar wants Schumacher to keep trying new things
Several years ago, Timur Yumusaklar took over at the helm of F. Schumacher and Co. with a mission to bring the now 131-year-old company into the 21st century. From new acquisitions to designer services and glossy publications, he’s now growing the business at a pace that’s more comparable to a startup than a heritage brand.

Show Notes
Timur Yumusaklar joined F. Schumacher and Co. in 2015, when the company still consisted of its heritage fabric and rug brands. He quickly set to work bringing the 131-year-old business up to date, developing the designer membership community Freddie, acquiring Los Angeles–based paint brand Backdrop and transforming the company’s newspaper into the glossy Frederic. In this episode of the podcast, Yumusaklar tells host Dennis Scully about his efforts to usher Schumacher—and the industry at large—into a brighter future.
