Meet The Task Force

Kevin O'Leary — The Entrepreneur
Kevin O'Leary is one of Canada's best-known businessmen-turned-TV-investment-superstars. He is featured on Canada's ROB TV's popular investment shows, Squeeze Play and Dragons' Den. He has a hunger for big deals and attacks them like a speeding freight train.

O'Leary's success story began with a big idea and no cash. From the basement of his house, he launched The Learning Company, which developed software to help kids learn to read and do maths. In 1999, he sold his company to the Mattel Toy Company for a staggering $3.7 billion, one of the largest tech deals in Canadian history.

To keep his money working, O'Leary took control of his wealth from lackluster money managers. He shares his tips and tribulations with a national television audience and turns "the Street" upside down in the process.

He is also a co-founder and investor in Storage Now, a fast-growing storage company, and is a director and shareholder of Environmental Management Solutions. O'Leary is also on the investment committee of Boston's prestigious, 200-year-old Hamilton Trust.
