Kevin Harrington has been a successful entrepreneur over the last
40 years. He is an Original Shark on the ABC hit, Emmy winning TV

brands and celebrities such as Jack Lalanne, Tony Little, George
Foreman, and the new I-Grow hair restoration product on QVC. Kevin
has extensive experience in business all over the world, opening
distribution outlets in over 100 countries worldwide. His success
led Mark Burnett to hand pick Kevin to become an Original Shark on
Shark Tank where he filmed over 175 segments. Kevin currently
operates a private consulting firm where he works with companies to
increase distribution; analyze electronic retailing opportunities;
effectively market on digital, social media, TV, radio, or print;
source manufacturing; celebrity relationships; open up his Rolodex;
and has been able to 10 X the stock price of several public
companies. In today’s competitive world, companies cannot operate
the way they have in the past because of the advancements in
technology and the digital marketplace. Kevin provides the advice
and expertise on how to navigate the constant changing distribution
and marketing outlets. Kevin also brings his Rolodex and
relationships to all companies he works with, including help in
financing, like he did with Russell Simmons and Celsius. Kevin got
his start as a young entrepreneur in the early 80’s when he
invested $25,000 and launched Quantum International. This turned
into a $500 million per year business on the New York Stock
Exchange and drove the stock price from $1 to $20 per share. After
selling his interest in Quantum International, he formed a joint
Venture with the Home Shopping Network, called HSN Direct, which
grew to hundreds of millions of dollars in sales. Entrepreneur
Magazine has called him one of the top Entrepreneurs of our time.
Aside from speaking to audiences across five continents, Kevin’s
influence has reached over 100 million people through his
multi-media presence and industry dominance. A prominent business

show, the Electronic Retailers Association (ERA). Today ERA is the
exclusive trade association to represent a global $350-billion

companies in 45 countries. The true value of Kevin is not only the
40 years of his knowledge of building businesses but also what he
can do for other companies in many industries with his global
Rolodex and his ability to solve problems.
