Overall, among the top-10 most influential CEOs in the world 2019, the ninth and 10th positions are held by Apple CEO Tim Cook and Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffet. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos took the No. 11 spot, followed by the UnitedHealth Group CEO David Wichmann (No.12) and Samsung Electronics Chief Executive Kim Ki-Nam (No.13). Out of 121 best CEOs in the world 2019, Chevron CEO Michael K Wirth ranked No. 20th, it added.
"CEOWORLD magazine's global ranking of the best chief executives for 2019 measured more than 1,200 CEOs across 96 countries. Taking a long view of business performance, the methodology is primarily based on the financial returns for the CEO's entire tenure, which makes up 60 per cent of the final ranking, as opposed to stock price and the current quarter's numbers," the publication said.
To calculate the final position, the additional 40 per cent of a CEO's ranking factors in a company's track record on environmental, governance, and social issues, as well as market shares, change of market capitalisation, and brand's newsworthiness and the impact was taken, it added.
