Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.B) is an American multinational conglomerate holding company headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska. The company owns and manages a diverse group of businesses spanning insurance and reinsurance, utilities and energy, freight rail transportation, manufacturing, distribution and retail. In addition to wholly owned operating subsidiaries, Berkshire maintains a large investment portfolio of publicly traded securities and routinely pursues acquisitions of private companies across multiple industries.

Core operations include a substantial insurance platform—which provides both direct insurer and reinsurance services—and capital allocation from underwriting profits to other businesses and investments. Berkshire’s portfolio of subsidiaries and business units encompasses well-known businesses in areas such as auto insurance, energy and utilities, and railroads, alongside a broad set of manufacturing, industrial and consumer-facing companies. The company’s investment activities include sizable equity positions in major public companies, and its operating companies sell products and services to customers in the United States and internationally.

Berkshire’s roots trace back to textile manufacturing companies that were consolidated under the Berkshire Hathaway name; Warren E. Buffett took control of the company in the mid-1960s and gradually transformed it into a diversified holding company focused on long-term value creation. Today the company remains centrally focused on capital allocation and acquisition of durable businesses while allowing subsidiaries significant operational independence.

Warren E. Buffett serves as chairman and chief executive officer. Berkshire also names senior leaders responsible for major operating areas—Gregory E. Abel is vice chairman and widely regarded as the designated successor for the consolidated business, and Ajit Jain serves as a vice chairman with responsibility for insurance operations. The company is known for its decentralized management style, with subsidiary managers running day-to-day operations while corporate leadership focuses on capital allocation and acquisitions.
