About Kevin Harrington
Through his entrepreneurial experiences, Kevin realized his talent for turning underutilized assets into growth opportunities. While watching late-night television, he realized nothing was being broadcast on the Discovery Channel after normal broadcast hours. He seized the opportunity to launch what later came to be called the infomercial. Before long, he had helped make, “but wait, there’s more,” part of our cultural history. He’s launched massively successful products like The Food Saver, Ginsu Knives, The Great Wok of China, The Flying Lure, and many more.
He has worked with amazing celebrities like Billie Mays, Tony Little, Jack Lalanne, and George Foreman to name a few. Kevin then built on that success to help pioneer the As Seen on TV brand. After empowering others to achieve success, he recognized the shifting marketplace trends and began to intentionally build his personal brand.
His platform-building efforts earned him a seat as an original “shark” on the hit TV show Shark Tank, where he continued to live out his passion -- empowering entrepreneurs to greatness. As a business shark, Kevin knows how to disrupt the marketplace and orchestrate a killer investment deal, bring the best resources to the table and build thriving businesses from scratch. But his people-first, win-win perspective is at the heart of everything.
Like his sales mentor, Zig Ziglar said, “You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want.” Kevin’s been called The Entrepreneur’s Entrepreneur and the Entrepreneur Answer Man, because he knows the challenges unique to start-ups and has a special passion for helping entrepreneurs succeed.
