Canadian cyber security expert, Sean Higgins, boasts an impressive career spanning over three decades in the information technology industry. As the CTO and Co-founder of Herjavec Group, he has dedicated nearly 30 years to the field of cyber security. With a diverse background that includes roles such as programming at General Electric and pioneering computer networking at North York Public Library, Higgins has witnessed the rapid evolution of technology firsthand.

Higgins began his journey in 1986, developing programs to count light bulbs at General Electric before moving on to establish the first computer network at North York Public Library. This was a time when the Internet was known as the ARPANET, and Higgins utilized it to exchange emails with his peers at Purdue University and explore early gateways for knowledge sharing. His depth of experience and knowledge in the industry led to him becoming the first expert witness in a Canadian court for a cyber security incident.

Renowned for his expertise and insight, Higgins is frequently sought after by individuals and organizations seeking guidance on solving technical problems, evaluating technological solutions, and establishing the direction for their companies. His reputation even earned the esteemed endorsement of Robert Herjavec, who referred to Higgins as "the smartest guy I ever met" in his best-selling book, "Driven".

Beyond his professional achievements, Higgins harbors a passion for coaching and mentoring young adults. He has mentored numerous individuals, employing a unique approach that combines traditional life coaching, entrepreneurial business experience, and the ability to read energy. Higgins has also dedicated his time to local universities through programs like the University of York's Career Mentorship Program. Additionally, he plays a vital role as a member of the Case Alumni Association Scholarship Committee, where he contributes to awarding millions of dollars in scholarships to STEM students in their junior and senior years.

Higgins has expanded his reach through two podcasts that showcase his expertise and life experiences. "Kick Start Your Week" offers a 15-20 minute meditation session released every Monday, designed to align one's energy for the upcoming week. Meanwhile, "Live Life with Sean" delves into personal anecdotes and situations, exploring Higgins' strategies for navigating through them.

With his immense knowledge and coaching skills, Higgins published his first book, "Living Your Purposeful Life", available on Amazon. He is currently working on a follow-up book, "Live Life", scheduled to be released in January 2023.

Residing on picturesque Vancouver Island, Higgins embraces a balanced lifestyle, enjoying explorations with his Golden Retriever, Rosie, and embarking on adventures on his mountain bike. He also holds a deep love for college athletics, particularly college basketball, where he avidly supports his alma mater, Purdue University, especially during the exhilarating March Madness tournament.
