RB's Bart Becht is one of top 20 best-performing CEOs in world

Reckitt Benckiser CEO Bart Becht has been named as one of the top 20 best-performing CEOs in the world by an INSEAD study published this January in the Harvard Business Review.

The list, compiled by collected data on close to 2,000 CEOs worldwide, placed Bart Becht at 16 out of the top 100.

In putting together the list, the authors looked at who had led firms that outperformed other firms in the same country and industry.

The list was topped by Apple's Steve Jobs but not all of the top CEOs were well-known.

Bart came out higher than CEOs from big names like Tesco, Telefónica, Canon, Centrica, Hyundai and Symantec.
