It's the career ambition of many finance directors to become a chief executive, whether at their own company or elsewhere. But how well do FDs perform when they get the top job? Using job data from Boardex and financial statistics from Thomson Financial's Datastream, we've analysed the total shareholder returns generated by almost 60 FDs-turned-CEOs in the FTSE-350.
We found that 34 of them generated market-beating TSR, compared with just 24
who lagged the market. And half a dozen of the underperformers were beaten by
less than 4%. Our table on pages 44-45 provides the full results, ranking CEOs
by their relative TSR. Here we highlight 10 of the best-performing CEOs – and
the five who have performed the worst.
