The annual Crist|Kolder Volatility Report of America’s Leading Companies examines the backgrounds and measures the turnover of C-Suite executives in a portfolio of 675 of America’s leading companies from the Fortune 500 and the S&P 500 Indexes. Crist|Kolder Associates examines each of the portfolio companies individually, noting personnel and organizational changes in the CEO, CFO, and COO roles. Each executive’s background is explored, including the path taken to get to their current role: industry background, functional experience, and education. This includes demographic information such as age, gender, and race. This is the thirteenth year of the Crist|Kolder Volatility Report, though information for the report goes back to 1995. This Summer 2016 release of the Crist|Kolder Volatility Report contains data through August 1, 2016.

Company Industry Breakdown

Volatility: Turnover is noted when the executive starts in the new role (as opposed to the date of announcement). Internal change: An executive is promoted to a new role at the company where he/she is already employed. External change: An executive is recruited to a position at a company to which he/she has no formal ties. Mergers: In a merger of equals, the combined company is considered a new entity. A change in leadership, therefore, is marked for all mergers. A change is internal if the executive was previously employed by either of the merging companies. Acquisitions: In the event an executive from the acquired company is appointed to a role in the acquiring company, it is an external change. Partial year: Designation indicates data gathered up to August 1, 2016, not a projection. COO Definitions: COO Role: If no individual operates under the title of COO at a given company, description of duties, executive hierarchy, and compensation are simultaneously analyzed to determine if someone with another title (i.e. President) fulfills this role. CEO-COO: Should a COO be promoted to CEO, or an individual be simultaneously elected to both
positions, the COO role is considered vacant since the functions of the COO are handled by the CEO.
