Obermatt CEO of the Year 
Obermatt's CEO of the Year rankings identifies the true performers in the marketplace – without subjective judgment. The Obermatt CEO of the Year rankings only measure performance against the company’s competition – and are based only on financial figures. There is no bias in the Obermatt rankings. We let the numbers speak for themselves.
A dozen fruitful years come to an end
After publishing the Obermatt CEO Rankings for twelve years, we have concluded our CEO ranking effort. The purpose of the rankings was to bring more sense into CEO performance and executive compensation by providing a fairer and more transparent CEO performance assessment that doesn't motivate for cost cutting and downsizing as all profit share based compensation programs do. Our rankings are rather a motivation for growth and investment as is the core purpose of executive work. We continue to support leading companies for better CEO performance assessment in our professional service practice where we provide motivating market data for better executive incentives and compensation.

CEO of the Year Methodology
Obermatt measures CEO performance with the three most important performance metrics: growth, operating performance, and shareholder return. Each metric is calculated relative to a global set of comparable peers. The group of peers, unique for each company, is comprised of companies that are most similar to the company being evaluated.
The Obermatt method uses no subjective judgments so that you can trust the results – and your interpretation of them.
