Let’s get real for a second. Greg Abel isn’t a flashy tech bro or a media darling. He’s the guy who flies commercial, reads annual reports for fun, and has a reputation for listening more than talking. That’s rare in the C-suite.
He grew up in Edmonton, Canada, worked at a chartered accounting firm, and fell into Berkshire’s orbit by sheer competence. Hard work and a knack for energy deals made him Buffett’s chosen successor over the equally talented Ajit Jain.
Why does this matter to you? Because his story proves you don’t need a Harvard MBA or a family fortune to run a corporate titan. You just need patience, a love for numbers, and the ability to stay cool under pressure.
