Preliminary performance leaderboard

Top three.
Bottom three.

Completed tenures ranked by annualized company price return minus SPY over identical dates. Price returns exclude dividends. Results are a curated historical sample—not a final all-company ranking.

Short tenures can produce unusually large annualized results. Gary Cohn's displayed measurement begins at the fixed study-window boundary, not his original 2006 appointment. CFO coverage includes approximate day-level dates; Jacek Olczak's COO dates are month-confirmed. Treat close comparisons cautiously.

Coverage before conclusions

See exactly
what is complete.

The company map is broad. The completed-tenure research is still selective. This funnel shows the distinction without hiding the unfinished work.

Only completed, source-supported terms can enter the market-outcome ranking. Ongoing, ambiguous, and unresearched roles remain excluded.

Company coverage

Current NYSE, Nasdaq, and NYSE American candidates are mapped here. This excludes comprehensive delisted, OTC, private-company, and former-index coverage. A listing is a research candidate—not a claim that its executive history is complete.
