The international team behind the successful Pogo mop is proud to bring you a quantum leap in motor mop innovation. Curious about the YMop story and the team behind it? Here’s a little about us…
Meet the YMop Team
YALE SMITH
Key Developer / Inventor
The Y in YMop stands for cYmatic and “Why Mop?” — but it’s also a subtle tribute to our Key Developer and Head of R&D, Yale Smith, who has been building carpet and floor cleaning machines for over 20 years. Yale set out to build the most efficient motorised mop on the planet. He did it!
JOHN NEIRA
Co-Developer / Ad Man
John does the branding and user-interface, which means taking Yale’s breadboard contraptions, and turning them into user friendly products. He has worked with Yale since product inception, “in the garage”.
CRAIG ANDREWS
CEO / Rockstar
Craig initially came on as an investor with a keen eye for a great product. 24 years experience in Corporate Business Management in Asia made Craig the perfect choice to structure the YMop corporation. Craig is our current CEO and Board Member.
NEIL PENN O'CONNOR
Media Department / Bass Man
Neil, a videographer, is also a professional Filipino musician by trade. His musical insight is what we wanted to explore the cYmatic experience of clean. An advocate of essential oil cleaning and organic living, Neil is a personal user of the YMop Technology, as he and his family of 3 children were nominated to be the 1st “Pogo Family”.

ZAI ZAI
YMop Lab Rescue-Turtle
Zai Zai came to our China Lab as a rescue turtle. She has since become a reminder to us about our long, hard struggle to bring the YMop to market: no matter what happens, always keep your head up… and just keep going!
