Microsoft founder pledges life to Berkshire Hathaway culture
Microsoft founder Bill Gates has said he’s committed to Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway for the rest of his life, Bloomberg reports.
Gates and fellow Berkshire board member Don Keough, the former president of Coca-Cola said in separate interviews with Bloomberg Television that their role with Berkshire is to protect the company’s culture and values after Buffett, 78, steps down. Buffett has pledged the majority of his Berkshire shares to Gates’s charitable foundation.
“I’ve got a commitment to stay involved with Berkshire as a lifelong thing,” Gates, 53, said in an interview scheduled to be broadcast today. “We always have to think about what might happen and make sure Berkshire is not just great now, but forever.”
