Warren Buffett Steps Down as Chairman | Global News

Warren Buffett, the 96-year-old investing legend, has officially stepped down as chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, passing the torch to his son Howard Buffett — a move long in the making and perfectly timed with Buffett’s birthday and a great-grandchild’s first. While Buffett remains as chairman emeritus to offer guidance, his son Howard, a seasoned board member with roots in farming, philanthropy, and law enforcement, will now steer the company’s culture and values. Day-to-day leadership continues under CEO Greg Abel, who took over last year. This seamless transition underscores Buffett’s legacy of patient, principled investing — and signals that even titans must pass the baton, ensuring Berkshire’s enduring success under new leadership guided by its founding ethos.
