Berkshire board confirms Greg Abel as CEO, Buffett to remain chairman




Berkshire Hathaway's board voted unanimously to name Greg Abel CEO starting January 1, while Warren Buffett will stay on as chairman, the company said on Monday.

The move officially initiates the transition that will see Buffett step aside after six decades at the helm of the conglomerate. Buffett surprised shareholders on Saturday, when he said he would step down as CEO at the end of the year.
