3 Houston head honchos rank among America's top CEOs in new report
Three Houston-area CEOs are doing a exemplary job of leading, says a new report.
Dr. Peter Pisters (MD Anderson Cancer Center), Dr. Marc Boom (Houston Methodist), and Worthing Jackman (Waste Connections) appear on Glassdoor’s new list of the top 100 CEOs for 2021.
Pisters scored particularly well; he ranked third overall on the prestigious list and earned a 99-percent approval rating from MD Anderson employees who shared anonymous feedback on the Glassdoor platform, which publishes reviews and salary information for employers.
Meanwhile, Boom ranked 60 overall with a 93 percent approval, while Jackman came in at 76 overall with a 92 percent approval.
Other Texas executives appearing on the new Glassdoor list are:
- Seventh-ranked Charles Butt, CEO of San Antonio-based H-E-B (96 percent).
- Fourth-ranked Gary Kelly, who just announced he’s stepping down as CEO of Dallas-based Southwest Airlines (98 percent approval).
- 55th-ranked Sean Yalamanchi, chairman and president of Richardson-based Infovision (93 percent approval).
“Over the past year, company leaders around the world faced unprecedented challenges to support employees during the COVID-19 crisis. Now, the employees have spoken and it’s clear that these CEOs excelled and found new ways to support their people when the world of work flipped upside down,” Christian Sutherland-Wong, Glassdoor’s CEO, says in a news release.
