There is no single CEO of the world. The concept of a global CEO is inaccurate because there is no single, unified global entity with a hierarchical structure like a corporation. However, many organizations operate on a global scale and have CEOs leading them.
Here are some examples of CEOs leading global organizations:
-
Ajay Banga: President of the World Bank Group. The World Bank Group is a vital international organization, but its president isn't a "CEO of the world." https://president.worldbankgroup.org/en/president
-
Erin Gore: Chief Executive Officer of World Central Kitchen, a global non-profit organization dedicated to providing food relief. https://wck.org/team
-
Andrew Morley: President and CEO of World Vision International, a global Christian humanitarian organization. https://www.wvi.org/about-us/our-leadership
-
Tricia Croasdell: Global CEO of World Animal Protection. https://www.worldanimalprotection.org/about-us/meet-the-ceo/
-
Carter Roberts: President and CEO of World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in the United States. While WWF has a global presence, it's not a singular global entity with one CEO ruling everything. https://www.worldwildlife.org/leaders/carter-roberts
-
Edgar Sandoval Sr.: President and CEO of World Vision. https://www.worldvision.org/about-us/leadership-team
-
Alan Gilpin: Previously the Chief Executive Officer of World Rugby. https://www.world.rugby/news/624394?lang=en
These examples illustrate that many organizations with global reach have CEOs. However, none of them govern the entire world. The question itself is inherently flawed due to the lack of a singular global governing body.
