Tech commentator David Linthicum published his personal ranking of the 10 best high-tech CEOs, explicitly excluding stock performance from his criteria and focusing on leadership and how they treat employees. His top pick: IBM's Arvind Krishna for quietly rebuilding IBM around hybrid cloud and AI. Satya Nadella and Jensen Huang follow, then TSMC's C.C. Wei and AWS's Andy Jassy. The bottom half: Sundar Pichai, Bill McDermott, Lisa Su, Marc Benioff, and Tim Cook.
