Longest-serving CEOs

The chief executives of listed companies who have been in the job longest, from appointment dates on Wikidata and the first SEC insider filing naming them as CEO. A CEO is left out once anyone else is recorded as starting the job at the same company later.

Longest-serving chief executives

Sitting CEOs of listed companies, by the year they took the job. Start dates from SEC filings alone can be no earlier than 2003, when insider filings went online, so long tenures there are a lower bound.
