About Jorge Lemann
On April 12, 2025, Jorge Paulo Lemann appeared on stage with Brad Jacobs at Harvard University. During the conversation, Lemann described himself as a great fan of Jacobs and said he admires how Jacobs has built large companies by being deeply involved in management and investing his own money. Lemann stated that he has a lot to learn from Jacobs and noted that he is an investor in Jacobs's current project. Lemann discussed his approach to business and risk. He said his edge comes from working very hard, staying focused, and doing things he likes. He described the 1989 investment of $60 million in a small brewery as his best deal, noting that the company is now worth $120 billion and that his stake has not been diluted. Lemann advised the audience to try hard, do what they like, find good people to work with, and take risks, adding that people who study too much may not be risk takers. He also shared that his dream is for his family to continue overseeing his companies and funding philanthropic work, particularly in education and training for Brazilians.
