Baksaas named one of world’s best performing CEOs

Each year, the Harvard Business Review ranks the world’s best CEOs. Five years ago the project adopted a new methodology in an effort to score CEOs based on their long-term performance, rather than the all-too-often focus on short-term financial results.

Harvard Business Review measured the performance data of 3,143 CEOs, with a specific focus on total shareholder performance since their first day on the job. Jon Fredrik Baksaas makes the cut at #99 on the list.

The late Steve Jobs of Apple has served the best performing CEO for the past 17 years, with Jeff Bezos of Amazon taking the second place slot. Only 1.9% of the CEOs studied by Harvard Business Review were women.
