Warren Buffett said Berkshire Hathaway’s decision to designate Greg Abel as chief executive officer was “100% successful.” He made the comment during Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholder meeting, marking the anniversary of the company’s announcement that Abel would be the successor for the top executive role. The remarks underscore Buffett’s public confidence in Berkshire’s leadership transition, a closely watched issue for investors because succession planning can shape governance continuity and capital allocation at large conglomerates.
