He was nicknamed 'The Man from Del Monte.'[1] Early life and educationImerman was born to a Jewish family in Johannesburg, South Africa.[2] His grandfather was a Russian Jew who emigrated to South Africa after the Russian revolution.[2] His father, Samuel Imerman, was a chemist.[2] He attended college seeking a degree in business law but never completed his studies.[2] He was conscripted into the South African Army during Apartheid and fought in the South African Border War.[2] Thereafter he worked for his father's chemical brokering business and then started his own company purchasing surplus chemicals and reselling them.[2] CareerIn the early 1980s, he expanded his business, first, into the purchase of damaged goods (which he would then repair and resell for a profit), then, into the distribution of branded pharmaceuticals.[2] The pharmaceutical business boomed and, in 1987, Imerman listed his company on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.[2] He then expanded into food distribution, listing an additional three companies on the stock exchange in South Africa.[2] During the late 1980s, when Western companies were divesting themselves of assets in South Africa due to Apartheid, he purchased assets at prices far below their real value. In 1989, he bought the South African assets of both Nabisco and the Ferro chemical group.[2] The Nabisco purchase gave him the option of purchasing Del Monte International, which he did in 1993, backed by an investment from South African mining company Anglo American plc; he later purchased 50% of Del Monte Asia. In 1995, he listed Del Monte International on the Singapore Stock Exchange,[2] tripling the value of the business to £400 million.[3] In 1999, he sold his remaining stake in the fruit company[1] and moved to London.[2] In London, he met brothers Robert Tchenguiz and Vincent Tchenguiz; they partnered and purchased a minority interest in the distiller Kyndal (now Whyte and Mackay) with a £190 million loan from German investment bank WestLB. Immerman served, first, as executive chairman, and then as CEO; there, he administered an aggressive cost cutting program,[2] and increased his ownership interest, from 35 percent to 60 percent, by buying out 60 shareholder employees.[2] In 2005, Immerman and the Tchenguiz brothers purchased the remaining interest in the firm, then, in 2007, sold the company to Indian-based United Spirits Limited for £595 million (then, USD 1.2 billion), of which Imerman received £380 million.[2][4][5] He continues as chairman and CEO of Del Monte Royal Foods Limited of South Africa,[3] and chairs Vasari Global, an investment company Imerman founded that specialises in turnarounds.[6] Imerman appeared on the Sunday Times Rich List in 2018, with a reported fortune of £390 million.[7] Personal lifeIn 1981,[2] he married South African Gina Gervis; they had three children.[8] They later divorced.[2] In 2001, he married Lisa Tchenguiz, sister of his business partners Robert Tchenguiz and Vincent Tchenguiz,[2] at The Liberal Jewish Synagogue in St Johns Wood, London. [8] They separated in December 2008. She was previously married to BBC Radio 1 disc jockey, Gary Davies.[9] They had one daughter (born 2002), then divorced in 2013; due to a prenuptial agreement, Tchenguiz received £15 million in the settlement.[10][11][12] Imerman resides with Gervis, his first wife and mother of his three grown-up children.[13] References1. ^1 [https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/7051157/Lisa-Tchenguiz-and-Vivian-Imerman-profiles.html The Daily Telegraph: "Lisa Tchenguiz and Vivian Imerman: profiles"] 22 January 2010 {{DEFAULTSORT:Imerman, Vivian}}2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 ES Magazine: The grapes of wrath" by Mark Hollingsworth 3. ^1 Businessweek: "Executive Profile: Vivian Imerman retrieved 29 December 2013 4. ^Herald Scotland: "Imerman eyes a bid for Whyte & Mackay" by Greig Cameron 30 November 2013 5. ^[https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/vivian-imerman-eyes-whyte--mackay-acquisition-as-diageo-agrees-to-sell-over-competition-concerns-8972998.html The Independent: "Vivian Imerman eyes Whyte & Mackay acquisition as Diageo agrees to sell over competition concerns" by Simon Neville] 29 November 2013 6. ^[https://vasariglobal.com/people/vivian-imerman "Vivian Imerman", Vasari Global.
