He is the first non-[[United States|American]] to be selected during the run of The Apprentice.


As winner of The Apprentice, Yazbeck was selected by Donald Trump to oversee development of the 5 star hotel condominium, [[Trump International Hotel and Tower (SoHo)]], in New York City’s SoHo district.

==Apprentice Season 5==
Yazbeck was unbeaten as Project Manager and was chosen by Donald Trump to be the next Apprentice during the show's live finale in Los Angeles. According to Trump, Sean overwhelmingly won the national vote, the first ever conducted for an Apprentice finale.

In Week 1 ([[Sam's Club]]), Yazbeck's salesmanship amazed his teammates. This was an important contribution to the team's win, as the opposing team lost by just 3 memberships.

In many tasks, Yazbeck was hard-working and often involved in late night work. This strategy played a major role in the win for Week 10’s [[Hair Cuttery]] event, where a major factor in the win was the attendance of Synergy’s event as compared to that of the opposing team.

In Week 13 ([[Embassy Suites]]), Yazbeck's opponent in the finale of the Apprentice, [[Lee Bienstock]], served as the project manager. Bienstock's win in this task was partially attributed to Bienstock heeding Yazbeck’s fashion sense. One of the judges, [[Ivanka Trump]], a former [[fashion model]], stated that even she learned things about fashion from Sean.

In the final task, Yazbeck was chosen to oversee a [[Barenaked Ladies]] charity concert, sponsored by [[Pontiac]], to benefit the [[WWF (conservation organization)|World Wildlife Fund]]. The judges felt that his choice of teammates and amount of pre-planning was impressive. In a touch that was appreciated by Trump when contrasted with this opponent's failure to do the same in his task, Yazbeck was able to meet Trump’s helicopter, a difficult feat in the context of the overwhelming nature of these final tasks.

For winning the final task and being "hired" as Trump's Apprentice, Sean chose to oversee the [[Trump International Hotel and Tower (SoHo)]], with a starting contract time of one year and a yearly salary exceeding [[USD|$]]250,000. He is currently their Director of Sales. He was also given an immediate reward for being hired by Trump--a new [[Pontiac G6]] Hardtop Convertible, mirroring [[Kendra Todd]]'s reward of a [[Pontiac Solstice]].

==Post-Apprentice==
In reference to his charity work with Voices for Children, on [[January 9]], [[2008]] the Governor of Kentucky, [[Steve Beshear]], bestowed the honorary title of “Kentucky Colonel” on Sean Yazbeck “in recognition of noteworthy accomplishments and outstanding service to the nation”
On [[June 20]], [[2006]], the Mayor of Miami Dade County, [[Carlos Alvarez]], proclaimed that day as "Sean Yazbeck Day" in Miami-Dade County.

Since winning The Apprentice, Yazbeck has returned as boardroom judge on [[The Apprentice 6]] (2007) and has hosted his own show "[[Reality Trailblazers]]" on the [[TV Guide Channel]]. He has also appeared on numerous shows such as [[Miss Universe]] (as a judge), [[Live with Regis and Kelly]], [[1 vs. 100]], [[Soap Talk]], [[Identity]] and MTV's [[From G's to Gents]].


He is currently the national TV and Radio Spokesperson for the [[Trump Institute]] and he is also a lecturer at the [[Trump University]].
He won six singles titles in the Open Era, with the biggest coming in [[Cincinnati Masters|Cincinnati]] in 1974. (He won numerous other pre-Open Era titles, including two other Cincinnati titles in the pre-Open Era.) He also reached the quarterfinals in singles at both the [[Australian Open]] and the [[US Open (tennis)|U.S. Open]] in 1971.


He is also working on building his own company named "Wavsys"
He also won 53 doubles titles, including the [[US Open (tennis)|U.S. Open]] (in 1976), the [[French Open]] (1971, with [[Arthur Ashe]]), and seven ATP Masters Series events: [[Paris Masters|Paris Indoor]] (1976), [[Canada Masters|Canada]] (1971 & 1970), [[Monte Carlo Masters|Monte Carlo]] (1970), [[Hamburg Masters|Hamburg]] (1968 & 1969), and [[Rome Masters|Rome]] (1968).

Sean Yazbeck (born 1972 in London, England) is a businessman, actor, and the winner of the fifth season (2006) of the reality show, The Apprentice, where candidates compete in several tasks on a 15-week "job interview" for a position in one of billionaire Donald Trump's companies. He is the first non-American to be selected during the run of The Apprentice.

As winner of The Apprentice, Yazbeck was selected by Donald Trump to oversee development of the 5 star hotel condominium, Trump International Hotel and Tower (SoHo), in New York City’s SoHo district. Since taking over the project in mid-2006, Yazbeck’s role has included overseeing negotiations on all acquisitions and purchases for this $500 million project.

As the national TV and Radio Spokesperson for the Trump Institute, Yazbeck worked with the Trump Institute in 2007 on a project to set-up WAVSYS, a national technical recruitment company. As Founder and CEO, WAVSYS leverages Yazbeck’s 12-years of technical recruitment experience, for which he was awarded the EB1 Green Card for "persons of extraordinary ability" in 2005.

Yazbeck currently lives in New York and keeps a home in Miami Beach, Florida.[1]

Childhood

In Week 13 (Embassy Suites), Yazbeck's opponent in the finale of the Apprentice, Lee Bienstock, served as the project manager. Bienstock's win in this task was partially attributed to Bienstock heeding Yazbeck’s fashion sense. One of the judges, Ivanka Trump, a former fashion model, stated that even she learned things about fashion from Sean.

In the final task, Yazbeck was chosen to oversee a Barenaked Ladies charity concert, sponsored by Pontiac, to benefit the World Wildlife Fund.
