The Barron’s story deemed Mr. White “an industry pacesetter in product development and growth,” highlighting key strategic acquisitions during his 15-year tenure and the transformative decision to separate Abbott’s proprietary research-based pharmaceuticals business, creating AbbVie.

For inclusion on the global list, Barron’s prefers candidates that have been CEO of a large organization for at least five years.
