Daymond John

Star ABC's Shark Tank

An entrepreneur in every sense of the word, Daymond John has come a long way from
taking out a $100,000 mortgage on his mother’s house and moving his business
operation into its basement. John is CEO and Founder of FUBU, a much-celebrated
global lifestyle brand, and a pioneer in the fashion industry with over $6 billion in
product sales world-wide.
John is an award-winning entrepreneur and has received over 35 awards including the
Brand Week Marketer of the Year, Advertising Age Marketing 1000 Award for
Outstanding Ad Campaign, Ernst & Young’s New York Entrepreneur of the Year Award
and, most recently, was named #2 on LinkedIn’s Top 20 Voices, a list of the top
influencers, who are using their voice to help us analyze today’s changing world of
work, navigate our industries, and find balance through an unprecedented
year!
His marketing strategies and ability to build successful brands has made him a highly
influential consultant and motivational speaker today. His marketing firm The Shark
Group offers advice on how to effectively communicate to consumers through
innovative means and connects brands with the world’s top celebrities for everything
from endorsements to product extensions.
John is also an author of 5 best-selling books including his New York Times best-selling
books, The Power of Broke (2016) and Rise and Grind (2018). In March 2020, John
released his fifth book, Powershift, that walks through his tried-and-true process of how
to transform any situation, close any deal and achieve any outcome through his own
experience and vast network of industry leaders.
Finally, John is celebrating his 12th season on ABC TV’s critically acclaimed business
reality show Shark Tank by renowned producer Mark Burnett, which has reinvigorated
entrepreneurship around the world. Shark Tank has now gone on to win five Emmy® in
the US and millions of weekly viewers world-wide tune into the show as John
