Not only does Steve Jobs rank among Barron's top 30 worldwide CEOs, but he's "the ultimate CEO who matters" ! Barron's even estimated that Jobs alone is worth approximately $16bn of the Apple market capitalization !
I can't agree more. In the short term, losing that visionary iconic leader, who also knows how to make money (this is less well known) would cost Apple a lot, Wall Street-wise. Sure, execution matters an awful lot, but perfect execution in the wrong direction doesn't add much value in the long run !
Back to the list, Warren Buffet is also ranked (little wonder, not only he's a great investor but also a great manager), and, for our French community, Frank Riboud of Danone is the only French CEO.
The Barron's list seeks to identify CEOs "who have top notch reputation in the financial community and who likely would be missed by investors if they unexpectedly left their jobs".
Peut être un peu HS mon commentaire... Mais il me semble qu'on n'a pas le même genre de top en France, il n'existe pas de "PDG de l'année"...
Je trouve ça un peu regrettable...
Néanmoins, Félicitations à iPapy ;)
