Bruce Flatt is Chief Executive Officer of Brookfield Asset Management, a leading global alternative asset manager with over $900 billion in assets under management. He joined Brookfield in 1990 and became CEO in 2002. Under his leadership, Brookfield has developed a global operating presence in more than 30 countries.

Prior to his current role, Flatt ran Brookfield’s real estate and investment operations and has served on numerous public company boards over the past two decades.

A Winnipeg native, Flatt joined an accounting firm out of college, then took a job at Canadian conglomerate Brascan, which soon nearly collapsed. He helped revive Brascan through a series of savvy real estate deals and became CEO in 2002, refashioning the firm into Brookfield Asset Management. His winning deals include buying Olympia & York in 1996 and London's Canary Wharf in 2015, and recapitalizing General Growth Properties in 2010.
