BRAINFORCE, a leading international provider of interim management services and E.X.P.E.R.T.³ Solutions®, have presented the Gold Award to the Top-ranked Russian listed Company CEOs for the third time.

The winners among large companies in 2016 present mostly industrial sectors of economic activity in comparison to 2014 where the leading industries among the winners were retail and telecommunication. The quantity of companies which can be included to the ranking is increased in 2016, in comparison to 2015. Plenty of large companies could keep the leading positions.

At the same time the winners among medium-sized companies have changed significantly in comparison to 2015. No more than 10% of companies could keep the high rating. The considerable amount of CEOs from the last year ranking could not be included to the current due to the fact that CEOs had been changed in about of 25% of companies in 2015 and in 2016.

In 2016 the Winner in the category „Combined Performance Large Companies“ is Vladimir Kunitsky, CEO of the one of the world’s leading producers of mineral fertilisers “ Akron”. Winner in the category ‘Combined Performance Medium Companies’ is Alexandr Masko, CEO of “Murmansk sea trading port”.

Ratings made by BRAINFORCE AG in cooperation with the Swiss Research Institute Obermatt

The ranking methodology is based on transparent key performance indicators and calculations with global benchmark, and exclude subjective evaluations.
For the Rankings, three indexed company performance indicators were calculated on 2015 financial figures: Sales Growth, Profitability Growth and Investment/Total Shareholder Return Growth. By indexing the parameters, disturbances from external factors are eliminated. Furthermore, the performance of the Russian companies was compared with 30-70 companies from the same industry or similar business cycles worldwide. Only CEOs with company performance superior than at least 50% of their global peers were considered.
