Greg Abel is in the news as Berkshire Hathaway’s new CEO since January 2026, taking over from Warren Buffett. Born June 1, 1962, he's a key figure in the company's future.
Berkshire Hathaway increased its holdings in Amazon, the New York Times, Chevron, and Chubb in late 2025, while trimming stakes in Bank of America and Apple. This marks Warren Buffett's final quarter as CEO, with notable shifts in investment strategy amid geopolitical and market developments.
