B ruce Flatt is a Canadian businessman and the CEO of Brookfield Corporation (formerly Brookfield Asset Management), one of the world's largest alternative asset management companies. Often compared to Warren Buffett for his value investing philosophy and long-term approach, Flatt has been the architect of Brookfield's transformation from a diversified Canadian holding company into a global investment powerhouse.

An accountant by training, Flatt joined a predecessor to Brookfield in 1990 and became CEO in 2002. Under his leadership, the company has grown its assets under management exponentially, with a massive portfolio spanning real estate, renewable power, infrastructure, and private equity across the globe. He is known for his contrarian investment style, often buying high-quality assets when they are out of favor. He has created immense value for shareholders over his tenure, and his personal fortune is derived from his significant stake in the company he has led for over two decades.
