Robert Herjavec: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Herjavec

Herjavec was born in Varaždin, Croatia (formerly Yugoslavia) and emigrated with his mother and father to Virginia at the age of eight, after escaping communism in former Yugoslavia. Herjavec’s father was incarcerated for speaking out against Marshal Josip Broz Tito’s communist regime. Herjavec has become well known for his family’s “rags to riches” story of success, arriving to Halifax with a single suitcase. The Herjavec family arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia aboard the Cristoforo Colombo in 1970. The family eventually settled in Toronto where they lived in the basement apartment of a family friend’s home for 18 months.

Herjavec graduated from New College at the University of Toronto, with a degree in English literature and political science. To make a living and help support his family, Herjavec took on a variety of minimum wage jobs such as waiting tables, delivering newspapers and retail sales

Herjavec’s first career was in film at an early age. He quickly moved behind the camera in various production roles. Herjavec worked in several productions as a 3rd AD (assistant director) including Cain and Abel and The Return of Billy Jack. His early film career culminated with the position of Field Producer of the XIV Winter Olympic Games in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Hercegovina for Global TV – where he was given an honour as one of the youngest producers of Olympic coverage.

In between productions Herjavec found himself looking for work. Through his roommate, Herjavec learned of an opening at a computer startup called Logiquest selling IBM mainframe emulation boards. Herjavec found himself under-qualified for the position but talked his way into the role by offering to work for free for the first six months to earn his stay. In order to pay the rent during this “free“ period, Herjavec waitered nights at Remy’s restaurant in Yorkville. He eventually ended up as General Manager of Logiquest. In 1990, he left to found BRAK Systems, a Canadian integrator of Internet security software, from the basement of his home. BRAK Systems was sold to AT&T Canada in 2000.

After a three-year retirement as a stay-at-home father to his three children, Herjavec founded the Herjavec Group in 2003, a security solutions integrator, reseller and managed service provider, of which he is currently the CEO. The Herjavec Group is one of Canada's fastest-growing technology companies and the country's largest IT security provider, according to the Branham Group. The Herjavec Group (THG) has grown from three employees in 2003 to 150 employees as of 2013, with a 643% growth rate from 2007–2012 and sales from $400K in 2003 to over $125 million in 2012. The company has done over $500 million in sales in the last 10 years. Herjavec and the Herjavec Group Inc. have been the recipients of numerous entrepreneurial and business achievement awards.
