Barron's magazine have published the list of best 30 CEO's in the latest edition as the part of their annual roster of the top corporate leaders from around the world. Published along with the profile of each CEO, Barron done a great job for readers and subscribers to understand the background of each one included in their list.
The eight new members of the roster are already making good money in Asia and appear well-positioned for the years ahead. Other newcomers to the list are making a mark on China with everything from cold beer and grilled chicken to luxury automobiles and high-end corporate computing gear.
Notable returnees in the list includes Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffett, Apple's Steve Jobs, JP Morgan Chase's Jamie Dimon, IBM's Sam Palmisano and Costco Wholesale's Jim Sinegal.
Selection of the 30 top CEOs isn't based on a statistical formula. It's based on the collective knowledge of the Barron's staff, plus recent interviews with investors, analysts and executives. The idea, as in past years, was to identify corporate leaders who have made a difference to their companies and delivered for investors. Only included the the CEO's who has been on the job for at least three years, and preferred companies with market values of at least $5 billion.
