The best CEOs in the world are manufacturers according to Harvard Business Review

Posted on 13 Dec 2018 by Tim Brown

It may have been released over a month ago but we thought we would delve a little deeper and look at some of the manufacturers that made this year's Harvard Business Review Top 100 Best-Performing CEOs. And we were surprised by what we found.

Indeed five out of the top five (and seven out of the top 10) ‘Best-Performing CEOs’ in the 2018 Harvard Business Review list come from companies with a basis in manufacturing. With manufacturing still suffering an image problem and having trouble attracting new talent, perhaps this list can help improve the perception of the industry.

Inditex

In the number one position, for the second year running, was Pablo Isla of the Spanish fashion retail giant, Inditex.

The biggest fashion group in the world, Inditex operates more than 7,200 stores in 93 markets worldwide. The company’s flagship store is Zara, but it also owns the chains Zara Home, Massimo Dutti, Bershka, Oysho, Pull and Bear, Stradivarius and Uterqüe.

Inditex operates a unique business model in the fashion world: instead of committing a large percentage of production for the next fashion season, the company commits a small amount and uses customer feedback and an efficient production network to replenish stores with new and different products weekly.

New styles are prototyped in just five days and 60% of the manufacturing happens locally to shorten lead-times. In Zara stores, it can take a new garment as little as 15 days to go from design and production to store shelves.

Nvidia

In second position was Jen-Hsun “Jensen” Huang, the CEO of graphics card maker Nvidia. The company designs graphics processing units for the gaming and professional markets, as well as system on a chip units for the mobile computing and automotive market. Jensen co-founded the graphics-processor company in 1993 and has served as its president and CEO since inception. Huang graduated from Oregon State University before moving to California.

In addition to GPU manufacturing, Nvidia provides parallel processing capabilities to researchers and scientists that allow them to efficiently run high-performance applications. They are deployed in supercomputing sites around the world. More recently, it has moved into the mobile computing market, where it produces Tegra mobile processors for smartphones and tablets as well as vehicle navigation and entertainment systems. In addition to AMD, its competitors include Intel, Qualcomm and Arm.

Huang was the son of Taiwanese immigrants. His mother taught him English by selecting a random 10 words from the dictionary each day and asked him and his older brother to spell them and tell her the meaning. In an interview with the New York Times, he said that growing up playing video games taught him perseverance. Losing over and over again made him push himself to win, he said in 2010.

LVMH and Kering

While companies like LVMH (number 3), which makes Moët and Louis Vuitton; and Kering (number 4), which makes Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent; might consider themselves luxury goods brands, they are still at their core manufacturers.

LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault believes that LVMH has “shared advantages”, such having the strong brands that help finance those that are still developing. The portfolio of major luxury brands has a history of stability, which allows for new acquisitions and group development.

The same can be said for Kering, which includes under its umbrella, brands such as: Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, Bottega Veneta, Boucheron and Brioni, Pomellato. Indeed its brand and product growth has seen the company more than triple in size with the revenues of Kering having increased from €3bn to €10bn from 2005 to 2017.

Continental AG

Aside from Nvidia, the other more standard manufacturer in the top five is Continental. Continental AG, commonly known as Continental, is a leading German automotive manufacturing company specialising in, brake systems, interior electronics, automotive safety, powertrain and chassis components, tachographs, tires and other parts for the automotive and transportation industries.

CEO, Elmar Degenhart, Degenhart studied Aerospace Engineering at the University of Stuttgart and then received his doctorate from the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation (IPA) in the field of clean room technology.

On 12 August 2009, he succeeded Continental CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann, and became the new CEO of Continental AG, in Hanover. In December 2013, his contract was extended until 2019. n 2015, Degenhart was awarded the Karmarsch Medal by the Leibniz Universitätsgesellschaft Hannover e.V. for his performance in the reorientation and further development of the Continental AG.
