Bruce Flatt

Bruce Flatt has served as CEO of Brookfield Asset Management since 2002, building a Toronto-based firm into one of the world's largest and most respected alternative asset managers with over $1 trillion in assets under management. Often called the "Warren Buffett of infrastructure," Flatt's strategy focuses on acquiring and operating real assets — infrastructure (toll roads, ports, data centers, telecom towers), renewable energy (hydro, wind, solar), real estate (office, retail, industrial), and private equity — across more than 30 countries. Brookfield's public presence spans multiple listed entities: Brookfield Asset Management (BAM) — the fee-generating asset management business; Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (BIP-UN) — owning and operating infrastructure assets; and Brookfield Renewable Partners (BEP.UN) — one of the world's largest publicly traded renewable energy platforms with over 30 GW of capacity. This structure allows investors to access different parts of Brookfield's empire. Flatt's key decisions involve capital deployment across the global infrastructure landscape, the transition opportunity in energy (Brookfield is one of the world's largest investors in the energy transition), real estate portfolio management in a post-pandemic office market, fundraising for new investment vehicles, and succession planning.
