30 most 'likable' healthcare CEOs

Timothy Ring, CEO of Murray Hill, N.J.-based Bard, topped Owler's 2017 "National CEO Likeability Study" of executives in the healthcare industry.

Owler, a community-based business insights platform, evaluated thousands of CEO reviews on its site. Its algorithm weighed reviews, with input from employees, followers, competitors and other stakeholders weighted differently.

The site focused on CEOs "leading notable companies located in cities with over 5,000 companies, regardless of size, and the sample set has been further reduced to include only companies that are actively updated and followed by the Owler Community."
