Early Life and Education
Max Van Hoegaerden Herrmann Telles is the son of Marcel Herrmann Telles, a prominent figure in the Brazilian investment world. He is a graduate of Wake Forest University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree with a minor in Economics. Max also attended the BTG Pactual Asset Management in New York and the AB InBev global trainee team in Saint Louis.
Rise to Success
His ascent in the business world is closely tied to the transfer of his father's stake in AB InBev. This transfer, completed in December 2023, made Max a key player in the future of the brewing giant. Before this inheritance, he gained experience in the financial sector, working as a financial analyst and as a trainee in AB InBev.
Key Business Strategies
Max's role in the company is to carry on the family legacy in the brewing and investment sectors, representing a significant shift in leadership within the AB InBev conglomerate. His father, Marcel, was instrumental in the 2004 merger of AmBev with Belgium's Interbrew, forming InBev, and in the 2008 acquisition of Anheuser-Busch, creating AB InBev. The strategic moves by his father in mergers and acquisitions have shaped AB InBev into the world's largest brewer.
