Jack Lynn Cockwell (born 12 January 1941) is a South African-Canadian accountant and financier. Cockwell joined Touche Ross in Cape Town in 1960 as a clerk while studying at the University of Cape Town. In 1966, the firm sent Cockwell to Montreal for a six-month placement, during which time he decided to remain in Canada. In 1968, Cockwell was recruited by the Bronfman family to work for Edper Investments. Upon Edper's acquisition of Brascan in 1979, Cockwell joined Brascan as senior vice-president for planning, and in 1981 became executive vice-president. Cockwell succeeded Trevor Eyton as president of the company in 1991. In 1997, Cockwell orchestrated the merger of Edper and Brascan to form Brookfield Corporation. He retired as president and chief executive officer of Brookfield in February 2002, though he remains a director. Cockwell is a shareholder of Partners Ltd, a private company consisting of a small group of former Edper managers that owns a majority voting share of Brookfield. According to Forbes, Cockwell is worth around $3 billion, making him the 1,219th richest person in the world.
