The Wall Street Journal's inaugural “Top 250 Board Directors” report is a complementary feature of the WSJ Board of Directors Council, a new membership community launched by The WSJ Leadership Institute and founding sponsors Heidrick & Struggles and Diligent. The Wall Street Journal evaluated extensive data provided by Diligent Market Intelligence on directors of S&P 500 companies. The report was supplemented by additional data sources and analyzed according to a methodology created by The Wall Street Journal and a third-party data analytics firm to produce the final ranking.

"We are thrilled to help power The Wall Street Journal’s ‘Top 250 Board Directors’ report and bring it to the forefront of the governance community,” said Brian Stafford, President and CEO of Diligent. “This report leverages Diligent’s extensive data on shareholder engagement, proxy voting and board composition to identify and recognize exceptional leaders. We are committed to empowering leaders with the insights and tools they need to drive positive change at their companies.”

The “Top 250 Board Directors” report, published in print and online at WSJ.com, offers a deep dive into the achievements and contributions of these directors. The top ten directors on the “Top 250 Directors” report are:

  • Edward Philip, United Airlines Holdings
  • Stephanie Linnartz, Home Depot
  • Debra Reed-Klages, Caterpillar, Chevron, Lockheed Martin
  • Joseph Jimenez, Century Therapeutics, General Motors, Procter & Gamble
  • Gregory Boyce, Newmont
  • John Brennan, American Express
  • Kevin Kennedy, Digital Realty Trust, KLA
  • Robyn Denholm, Tesla
  • David DeWalt, Delta Air Lines
  • Laura Fulton, Targa Resources
  • “The ‘Top 250 Board Directors’ report is a cornerstone of The WSJ Leadership Institute, and we’re proud to partner with Diligent to bring it to life,” said Alan Murray, President, WSJ Leadership Institute. “This partnership and report not only offer a profound insight into the leaders who are shaping corporate governance but also set a new standard for leadership development. Together, we are redefining what it means to be a leader in today’s dynamic business landscape.”

    As a key partner sponsor of the inaugural WSJ Board of Directors Council Summit in November, Diligent’s President and CEO, Brian Stafford, will be a speaker on the impact of generative AI on corporate governance and board effectiveness.

    Methodology for the Top 250 Board Director Report

This approach evaluated key metrics such as CEO experience, board role and tenure, the most recent vote percentages, diversity, board meeting attendance, and governance and vulnerability scores.
