American investor Warren Buffet has started to train a 28-year-old, female, protege.

Tracey Britt is her name, and she comes packed with a Harvard MBA as well as a high ranking at Berkshire Hathaway (American multinational conglomerate holding company). In her short four years of being there, she has moved form financial assistant, to becoming the chairman’s righthand woman.

Not only does she share higher levels of brain activity like her esteemed superior, but she also shares Midwestern roots with Buffet.

According to the Wall Street Journal:

The firms in which she serves as chairman, including building-products company Johns Manville Corp. and paint manufacturer Benjamin Moore & Co., total more than $4 billion in annual sales. In March, a few weeks after Berkshire and Brazilian investment firm 3G Capital said they would buy ketchup maker H.J. Heinz & Co. for $23 billion, Mr. Buffett sent Ms. Britt to Brazil, according to people familiar with the matter.

Ms. Britt is also one of the most influential women within Berkshire, which has three women directors on a 13-member board and five women CEOs out of 81 operating companies.

Nice find, Buffet!
