Business4 sources3 countries31m ago
Warren Buffett has stepped down as chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, with his 71-year-old son, Howard Buffett, succeeding him in the role. The transition follows Warren Buffett's departure from his position as the company's chief executive officer last year.
While Howard Buffett is taking over as chairman, he will not be responsible for running Berkshire Hathaway's day-to-day operations. The leadership changes mark a significant generational shift in the governance of the multinational conglomerate previously led by his father.
