Sean Yazbeck Biography

Sean Yazbeck (born 1972) is the winner of Donald Trump's reality show The Apprentice's fifth season (2006). He was chosen to compete on The Apprentice because he had been granted an EB-1 visa, which allows those with exceptional abilities to work in the United States. Yazbeck was also honored with the British Government Department UKTI's 2014 "British Entrepreneur of the Year Award." Sean Yazbeck, the winner of The Apprentice, worked with Donald Trump on two projects during his Apprenticeship year. He managed the construction of Trump SoHo, a $500 million five-star hotel condominium in New York City's SoHo area. He also co-founded Wavsys, a telecommunications engineering firm, with the Trump Organization, of which he is the CEO. Wavsys is an 'Inc. 500 Fastest Growing Company in America,' employing over 500 people in the United States and delivering over $100 million in services across the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the European Union as of 2014. Wavsys' success, according to Sean Yazbeck, is due in part to principles gained from Donald Trump's time as The Apprentice. Yazbeck was born and reared in the English capital of London. He went to William Ellis School in Highgate, London, and received a First Class Honors Degree from Southampton Solent University. Yazbeck now resides in Miami Beach, Florida, and represents the Grand Champions Polo Club in Wellington, Florida. He is a member of The Young Presidents' Organization (YPO), a global network of young CEOs, with a chapter in Miami. In 2008, Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear conferred the honorary title of Kentucky Colonel to Yazbeck in appreciation of notable accomplishments and excellent service to the country, in relation to his charitable work with Voices for Children. Yazbeck made history as the first non-American to be chosen for The Apprentice. He won more assignments than any other applicant, went undefeated as Project Manager on The Apprentice 5, and was named the next apprentice by Donald Trump during the show's live finale in Los Angeles. According to Trump, Yazbeck won the nationwide vote, which was the first of its kind for an Apprentice finale. In the final job, Yazbeck was picked to organize a Barenaked Ladies charity performance to benefit the World Wildlife Fund, which was sponsored by Pontiac. Yazbeck decided to supervise the Trump SoHo after winning the final assignment and being appointed as Trump's apprentice, with a one-year contract and an annual compensation surpassing $250,000. He had also been given a new Pontiac G6 hardtop convertible, similar to the Pontiac Solstice that Kendra Todd received. Yazbeck returned to The Apprentice 6 (2007) as a boardroom judge and presented his own show, Reality Trailblazers, on the TV Guide Channel. He has served as a judge on Miss Universe, Live with Regis and Kelly, the MTV Video Music Awards, 1 vs. 100, Soap Talk, Identity, and MTV's From Gs to Gents.
