Businessuite Magazine Top 10 CEO Issue December 2012

The list reflects a wide range of CEOs in a variety of sectors including gaming, banking, finance and food and beverage. The fact is, what these companies all have in common is not what they do, but who does what. Excellence in performance is set from the person who wears the crown. As further reading of this issue will attest, heavy indeed is the head that wears the proverbial crown. We envy the salary, balk at the fancy title, and consider them tyrants who reign over an evil empire. Well maybe the last bit is a little bit of an exaggeration. The point is, being a CEO is for the most part a meritocracy fraught with as much pressure as there are perks. These professionals have gotten to where they are today by virtue of sheer knowledge, experience and hard work and therein lies the success stories. These are simply put, people who know their job and do it very well.
They also perform against the backdrop of what is arguably the most difficult economic times locally and globally, for both consumers and business. In a contracting economy, the shrewd leader must steady the ship, instill confidence his is crew and chart a course for success.
