Best CEO

Alright just to recap the past Decade, how about suggestions of best CEOs of BBs, PE firms

Other than our dear Goldmans (Blankfein and Paulson), thinking of CS (Dougan) and JPM (Dimon). Dont really know much about KKR and Blackstone CEOs so anyone care to fill up?

Noticed that most of these CEOs are traders as compared to IBs so I guess traders should have a higher chance of becoming a CEO eh..

Correct me if I'm wrong

Dick Fuld comes in a close second.

Cheer up, Bateman. What's the matter? No shiatsu this morning?
