Who is Jorge Paulo Lemann?

Often referred to as one of the ‘Kings’ of beer, Jorge Paulo Lemann is a self made man who has built a name for himself in the world of business. He was a brilliant tennis player in school and reportedly, this helped him get an admission at the ‘Harvard University’ where he completed his graduation in a span of two years instead of three. He had an independent bent of mind and wanted to become financially self-sufficient at the earliest, and this was possibly the reason behind his early completion of studies. He then collaborated with Carlos and Mercel who are till date his business partners. The trio co-founded the invested firm ‘Banco Garantia’ and with this Lemann established himself as an exceptional entrepreneur. He manoeuvred over the investments of the company and his business instinct proved right when all the investments that the company made gained profits. This company was sold off in a lucrative deal and then, Jorge turned his attention to the brewery industry. He had been associated with the brewery company ‘Brahma’ and later, acquired the company along with another company and merged the two to form ‘AmBev’. His investment company ‘3G Capital’ has till date acquired many big brands and he has been instrumental in the company’s success. Read on to know more about his success story.
