2007 has been a wild year in the markets and there are many CEOs who aren't making the grade. 24/7 Wall St. has issued a brief list of some recognized CEOs in technology whose shareholders would likely be rewarded if the CEO was axed or stepped down, and who have a great shot at getting the ax in 2008. Most of these CEOs have a recent history of disappointment, and calling a CEO out can't be just over stock prices. Here's the full list, with a brief sentence and a link to the full explanations for each:
- John Thompson of Symantec (NASDAQ: SYMC): This was a tough one, because I like him personally as a CEO and thought the diversification strategy was not as far out as Wall Street did. But Wall Street talks, here's the full piece on it.
- Hector Ruiz of Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD): This was simple, and we think even though he wants to stay that he won't be allowed to. Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:INTC) isn't just winning, it's running away with the processor prize. Here's the full data why he's toast, even if he won't admit it.
