ROBERT HERJAVEC BIOGRAPHY

Robert Herjavec, is one of North America’s most respected business person. He is most recognized for his role as a dragon on Canada’s Dragon’s Den and a shark on the U.S. Shark Tank. Off-screen, he is the founder and CEO of one of Canada’s largest and most profitable information technology companies.

At age 8, Robert and his family arrived in Canada from communist Yugoslavia with a single suitcase and $20. His father worked sweeping factory floors, and Robert was often bullied in school for his accent and unstylish clothing. The circumstances motivated him to be more than “good enough;” he wanted to be the best at something so that he could provide his family with a better life.

While working multiple jobs, he started his first company, an integrator of Internet security software, BRAK systems, in his basement. Ten years later, he sold it to AT & T Canada, making him a millionaire. After taking a three-year break to be a stay-at-home dad, he returned to the business world with the creation of one of the globe’s leading cyber security companies.

Herjavec has appeared as a regular on the Canadian CBC Television series Dragons’ Den (seasons 1 to 6) seasons 17- 18 and in the United States on ABC’s version of the series, Shark Tank, where business pitches from aspiring entrepreneurs are presented to a panel of potential investors. Herjavec’s most successful investment from the show is $100,000 for a 10% stake in sweater company Tipsy Elves. Herjavec has also invested in an herbal sparkling water company called Aura Bora.

Herjavec won three Gemini Awards as part of Dragon’s Den for Outstanding Reality Show in Canada.

Herjavec presented awards at the 2013 Creative Arts Emmy Awards and the 2013 Mr. Olympia contest.

Robert released his third book, You Don’t Have to Be a Shark: Creating Your Success, published by St. Martin’s Press on May 17, 2016. Robert’s motivational business advice has received millions of impressions through TV, print, radio and digital media. He shares his expertise with other entrepreneurs each week as a leading Shark on ABC’s Emmy Award-winning hit Shark Tank.
