Greg Abel

Greg Abel is the current CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, the global conglomerate founded and led for decades by Warren Buffett. Abel officially took over as CEO on January 1, succeeding Buffett, who remains as Chairman. This transition marks a significant shift for the company, as Buffett's leadership has been a defining characteristic of Berkshire Hathaway for 60 years. Abel's current activities include managing the company's substantial cash reserves, as highlighted by recent reports detailing his involvement in deploying Berkshire's massive cash pile. His leadership is now central to Berkshire Hathaway's future direction and its continued appeal to investors, including those from China who historically viewed Buffett as an oracle. Abel's role is therefore highly significant as he navigates the post-Buffett era, ensuring the company maintains its 'north star' status in the investment world.
