Every year, Glassdoor announces and publishes a list of the most loved and liked CEOs of technology companies based on votes from employees who work for them.
Last year, Tim Cook held the top spot with a 97% approval rating, higher than even Steve Jobs' 95%. This year, however, his popularity dropped to 93%, a drop that brought him to 18th place on the list of the 50 most likeable tech CEOs.
The top spot went to one of Steve Jobs' favorite children, none other than Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Mark Zuckerberg managed to jump from 84% last year to 99% this year, thus dethroning Tim Cook.
The top ten is as follows:
- Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook) — 99%
- Bill McDermott and Jim Hagemann Snabe (SAP) — 99%
- Frank D'Souza (Cognizant) — 96%
- Joe Tucci (EMC2) — 96%
- Paul E. Jacobs (Qualcomm) — 95%
- Larry Page (Google) — 95%
- Mark B. Templeton (Citrix) — 95%
- Marc Benioff (Salesforce) — 94%
- Jen-Hsun Huang (NVIDIA) — 94%
- Jeff Bezos (Amazon) — 93%
As everything shows, Tim Cook's popularity after the first 18 months since he took over Apple has fallen, and quite significantly, since the grace period is now over and mourning the loss of Steve Jobs is no longer an excuse for anyone.
