<p><h2>Early Life and Education</h2></p>

<p>Robert Herjavec was born on September 14, 1962, in Varaždin, Croatia. In 1970, his family emigrated to Toronto, Canada, largely due to his father’s political opposition to the communist regime then governing Yugoslavia. His father had been imprisoned for speaking against the government and, upon his release, the family decided to resettle in Canada.</p>

<p>When they arrived in Canada, Robert was a young <a href="/biography/robert-herjavec">boy</a> who spoke no English. Despite this challenge, he adapted quickly and focused on his education. He later graduated from the University of Toronto in 1984 with a degree in English Literature and Political Science.</p>

<p><h2>Early Career and Breakthrough in Business</h2></p>

<p>Herjavec began his professional career in the film and television industry, taking on various production roles, including a position on the film <em>The Return of Billy Jack</em>. His work also took him to the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo while he was employed by Global TV.</p>

<p>Shifting gears, Herjavec sought a position with Logiquest, a computer company, but was initially turned down due to a lack of qualifications. Determined to prove his worth, he offered to work for free for six months. During that time, he supported himself by waiting tables. His persistence was ultimately rewarded when he was hired and rose through the ranks to become the General Manager of Logiquest.</p>

<p>In 1990, after being laid off from Logiquest, Herjavec chose to start his own company rather than seek new employment. From his basement, he launched BRAK Systems, a company that developed software specializing in internet security. The venture proved highly successful and was acquired by AT&T Canada in 2000 for a reported $30.2 million.</p>

By 2013, it had grown to 150 employees and boosted its annual revenue from $400,000 to $125 million. The Herjavec Group has since been recognized as one of Canada’s leading cybersecurity firms, noted for its sustained growth rate of over 600% within a decade.</p>

<p><h2>Books and Authorship</h2></p>

<p>Herjavec is also a published <a href="/biography/robert-herjavec">author</a>. In 2010, he released his first book, <em>Driven: How to Succeed in Business and Life</em>, offering insights derived from his personal journey. In 2013, he followed with <em>The Will to Win: Leading, Competing, Succeeding</em>, which further explores his experiences and business philosophy. Both books have been well-received for their motivational content and practical advice.</p>

<p><h2>Personal Life</h2></p>

<p>Robert Herjavec married Diane Plese in 1990. The couple separated in 2014 and finalized their divorce in 2016. Together, they have three children: a son named Brendan and two daughters, Caprice and Skye.</p>
