Berkshire's successor Greg Abel!
How impressive is this person,
he is the one Buffett personally endorsed as the "next leader of Berkshire."
He is 61 years old this year, is Canadian,
and has been with Berkshire for nearly 30 years,
rising from a small leader in an energy company to the group's second-in-command.
The most impressive thing is that when he was in charge of the energy sector, he increased annual profits from $1.2 billion to $4 billion and led the team to acquire BNSF, the second-largest railway company in the United States—this operation left Buffett stunned, praising him as “better at running a business than I am.” Old Buffett once said: “He can manage a large factory with hundreds of thousands of employees and also handle hundreds of billions in cash,” in other words, he can be both a domineering CEO and a financial shark.
He usually keeps a low profile, but when it comes to the transition to new energy, he is very aggressive, having laid out wind and solar energy in advance and playing traditional energy to its fullest. Now that he is taking over from Old Buffett, everyone feels more at ease—after all, he is certified by Munger as a “low-key player who makes a fortune.”
