The turnover of CEOs in large companies in the USA has reached its highest level in the last twenty years. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
In 2025, leadership changes occurred in 41 companies included in the S&P 500 index, approaching last year's figure of 49 cases. The main reasons for these changes include increased shareholder activism, the independence of management boards, intensified pressure on financial results, and heightened demands on the behavior of leaders.
Recently, it was announced that Jon Moeller, the CEO of Procter & Gamble, would be replaced by Shailesh Jejurikar. Additionally, Kenvue, the manufacturer of Tylenol, replaced its leader due to a 16.5 percent drop in its stock.
In recent years, the composition of management boards in companies has also been updated, with representatives of various nationalities and genders, as well as individuals with diverse experiences joining. This has increased the independence of the boards and intensified demands on leaders.
Now, leaders are held accountable not only for the company's financial results but also for its culture and alignment with social values. Thus, these changes in the management system are aimed at improving the efficiency of companies' operations.
