Jorge Paulo Lemann was born in Brazil during 1939 to Swiss immigrants. He received his Bachelors degree from Harvard University in 1961 (he would later receive his MBA from Harvard Business School) and in 1971 he and three partners founded the Brazilian investment banking firm Banco Garantia. Undaunted by a horrific market crash that came only weeks later, Lemann was eventually able to build Garantia into one of the country's most prestigious and innovative investment banks, described in Forbes as "a Brazilian version of Goldman Sachs." Later he and his partners bought control of a Brazilian brewery that eventually became AmBev. In 2003 AmBev had a pretax profit margin of 35 percent on sales of USD $2.7 billion. It controlled 65 percent of the Brazilian beer market and almost 80 percent of Argentina's, with monopoly positions in Paraguay, Uruguay, and Bolivia.[1]

Lemann, a 59-year-old former tennis champion, who built the banking partnership from scratch (see box), is believed to want to sell the bank and concentrate on his other investments. He suffered a heart attack on the tennis court some years ago and has distanced himself from day-to-day operations. An austere and determined character, Lemann will get his wish eventually, even though younger partners may be against any sale, say observers of the bank. But it is proving a challenging proposition. The recent losses and Garantia's trading room culture have so far scared off all potential suitors and Garantia's 19 partners have yet to decide whether they prefer the bank to be an independent niche player, concentrating on trading and restricted in underwriting capabilities by capital size and distribution, or whether they want to compete with international firms now closing in on the Brazilian market. To do this means tying up with a foreign house substantially compromising their ability to trade as aggressively as in the past.

Seu lema é: comprar na baixa e vender na alta. Foi assim que Jorge Paulo Lemann transformou empresas em dificuldades em grandes negócios. Um exemplo é a cervejaria Brahma, comprada em 1989 por 60 milhões de dólares e negociada por 4,1 bilhões de dólares na fusão com a Interbrew. A trajetória de Lemann começou em 1971, quando ele e mais cinco sócios fundaram o Banco Garantia. De lá para cá, Lemann e seus sócios adquiriram participação em mais de 30 empresas, entre elas, Lojas Americanas e Telemar.
