Robert Herjavec Biography

Robert Herjavec is an entrepreneur, investor, and cybersecurity expert known for his rise from immigrant roots to a prominent position in the technology industry. After being dismissed from an early technology job, Herjavec launched BRAK Systems, an internet security company that became one of the largest in Canada and was later sold to AT&T Canada for $30.2 million. He subsequently founded Herjavec Group, a cybersecurity firm that expanded internationally and became a cornerstone of his business career. Under Herjavec's leadership, Herjavec Group grew into one of Canada's largest IT and cybersecurity firms, generating more than $200 million in annual revenue before a majority stake was acquired by Apax Partners, leading to its merger with Fishtech Group and rebranding as Cyderes, where Herjavec served as CEO.

Herjavec gained widespread recognition through his television work, first as a judge on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's reality show "Dragons' Den," and later as an original cast member on ABC's "Shark Tank" alongside Daymond John, Barbara Corcoran, and Kevin O'Leary. He has been a founding Shark and executive producer of the Emmy Award-winning show for more than 14 years. Herjavec is a three-time Gemini Award winner for Outstanding Reality Show in Canada for "Dragons' Den" and has also appeared on Network 10's "Shark Tank Australia." Notable investments include the sweater company Tipsy Elves and the sparkling water brand Aura Bora, both of which experienced significant growth under his guidance.

Herjavec's influence extends into cybersecurity policy and thought leadership. He has served as a cybersecurity advisor for the Government of Canada, participated in the White House Summit on Cybersecurity, and is a member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Task Force for Cybersecurity. His perspectives on threat landscapes, emerging technologies, and proactive security frameworks are regularly featured across print, digital, and television media. Herjavec has received recognition such as the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award for Technology and the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for outstanding service to Canada.

As an author, Herjavec has published three books: "Driven: How to Succeed in Business and Life," "The Will to Win: Leading, Competing, Succeeding," and "You Don't Have to Be a Shark: Creating Your Own Success." His books have appeared on bestsellers' lists, with two featured in the top 10 simultaneously. As a keynote speaker, Herjavec has addressed audiences worldwide, from IBM to HP, sharing the stage with figures such as Tony Robbins and Oprah Winfrey. Through Herjavec Ventures, he continues to provide investment guidance in technology, cybersecurity, and entertainment, establishing his reputation as a versatile business leader.

Driven: How to Succeed in Business and Life

In his presentation, Herjavec shares his hard-won wisdom. "Driven" is organized by the work and life principles that made Robert Herjavec both wealthy and successful (indeed, these terms are not synonymous). Herjavec reveals the secrets that took him from waiting tables to growing his nascent technology company, The Herjavec Group, into a world-class conglomerate. His principles are as valuable in the living room as they are in the boardroom. Anyone can succeed, on their own terms, by following his sage but simple advice -- as long as they're willing to take chances, take control of their future and stay true to their vision.

The Will to Win - Leading, Competing & Succeeding

Whether you are seeking to build the next big company in communications technology, to become the most respected teacher in your educational system, or to make a lasting impact as an artist in your field, the most important decision you can make, according to Herjavec, is to reject mediocrity. In the long run, "good enough" is never good enough, whether in our personal lives or in our careers. Drawing on anecdotes from his own life and from the lives of celebrity friends such as Oprah, Georges St-Pierre and Celine Dion, Herjavec delivers valuable life lessons that promise to guide readers to greater happiness and success.
