Robert Herjavec Biography

Robert Herjavec is a Canadian entrepreneur, a TV star, and the founder of The Herjavec Group, a fast-growing security software company. He was born in Croatia and migrated to Canada with his poor parents when he was a child. He started working while still young, learning the hardships of employment and making ends meet in the Canadian culture. At that time he also got a chance to work in a technology company that was just starting, but only after convincing the founder to let him work for free. Later he turned that experience into the foundation for his first technology company, which he eventually sold for a fairly large sum of money. After a brief retirement, he established ‘The Herjavec Group’, which is currently Canada's fastest growing technology company. He is also a leading television personality and has appeared on several business pitching shows. He spends most of his time running his business, starring on the business TV shows, and of course spending time with his family. His life can be defined as a classic “rags to riches” story and he has emerged as one of the most recognizable business leaders not just in his country, but throughout the world. He is also a famous author with two best-selling titles to his credit.
