An exit from the scene of Ima, the family business, which will earn him "over 700 million" to open a new chapter in his life that will be focused on "business, social media and my daughter". This is how Gianluca Vacchi, a Bolognese entrepreneur, DJ and star of the Internet with 47 million followers, recounts, in a long interview with 'Il Resto del Carlino', the farewell to the Emilian packaging giant led by his cousin Alberto Vacchi after the sale of the 13.2% share held in the portfolio.
"I left Ima after 30 years and an extraordinary journey - he argues - A company that has been and still is very important to me. When I talk about it, it's as if it's a living being, almost like it has a soul. With my cousin Alberto at the helm - he continues - Ima will continue to grow and it is good if she will be listed on Wall Street. I am not leaving because I have no confidence in the future scenarios of the multinational, I have unlimited trust in Ima. But because I am a lover of the transit of life.
I've had a lot of lives, at the age of 56 I'll start a new one in which I will be able to dispose of my assets."
As for the numbers of the operation, Vacchi reveals, "my share has been sold for over 700 million and will be paid to me in two tranches. The first part has already been liquidated immediately, the rest after a few years." In any case, he points out in another passage of the interview, "Alberto is an entrepreneur and a very good manager, but until now I have been a shareholder in any of my entrepreneurial adventures. We have different talents, but we share the principles of business management. And I think, knowing him, he had a laugh about my social dances."
Looking to the future, "at the age of 56 I will combine the desire for business and that of a good father. I don't want to overdo it, I'm going to do what I know how to do." Without abandoning social media, which "have made me popular: there are people who come to the front of my house for a selfie". So, Vacchi concludes, "I'm serene. I always try to have new challenges in front of me, new goals. I get bored easily. But it doesn't apply to my partner and my daughter: my family is my life."
