Since 1986, Chief Executive of the Year winners have been a who’s who of American business leadership, including Ken Frazier, Brian Moynihan, Arne Sorenson, Stanley Bergman, Michael Dell, A. G. Lafley, Marillyn Hewson, Bill Gates, John Chambers, Bob Iger, Anne Mulcahy, Larry Bossidy, Andy Grove, Herb Kelleher, and many, many more.
