1- Bill Steere 2- Ian Reed 3- McKinnel 4- Alberto 5- Kindler My top 5 in that order. Shareholders would agree.
If judging a CEO by perf of stock for shareholder value, yes Bill Steere hands down ,#1 & Mckinnel is last
Seriously a question ??? A CEO job is to drive stock price, sales & revenue..... ONLY one CEO of the last 25yrs has done this . Bill Steere. What separates him from the other disaster CEO, Steere spent years as a Rep & DM... he was a Sales guy--- not a Lawyer, University President, Ivy League PHD or European. He knew what it took to sale & compete in the field which drives Revenue, Sales, Profit thus Stock & shareholder value. That is why hw has been only good CEO. (Couple been avg including Alberto but he is not cut out to run a US founded & based company...wall street doesnt like him. )
Agree. Alberto is on thin ice in year 2. After year 3 and if the stock is not 50, in 2022 he will be yet another CEO booted with a parachute package. Same cycle & song last 25 yrs
j True but he did buy some companies that saved Pfizer Warner Lambert Park Davis- Pharmacia Upjohn which is responsible for biggest selling drug in history of industry in Lipitor. Pharmacia had Celebrex Detrol & the entire Oncology portfolio & R&D--- Pfizer was not a player in oncology until buying them. So agree poor leader but was best CEO at M&A as the other clowns have spent spent spent on crap that hasnt turned out much.
Too early to tell on Al but I would rank McKinnel as awful and Jeff Swindler as most awful; big divide between the top two and bottom two
You are all a bunch of morons subscribing to the BS Shareholder value myth. Time to wake up and smell the coffee.
