Chief Executive Officer

CEO 2008 Vol. 1

As implications of the economic downturn push CEO performance further into the spotlight, our special feature on executive remuneration addresses why stratospheric severance pay plus poor performance just isn’t adding up any more. Performance related packages, like those recently given to American Express CEO Ken Chenault, increasingly reflect the changing economic times.

It seems no CEO, however successful their history, escapes the performance measurement spotlight. Amazon, the world’s largest online retailer, reported its first annual profit five years ago and has maintained a strong footing in the black ever since. Yet concerns still emerge from Wall Street over CEO Jeff Bezos’ ability to raise his company’s profit margin. Our focus on Amazon and Bezos is part of a special focus on technology pioneers, including exclusive interviews with Vincent Sollitto of Syntax Brillian, Elon Musk, Founder, PayPal and Martin Varsavsky, CEO, Fon.
