CEOs of Multiple Companies
I work about 50 hours a week and when I get home at night, I’m exhausted.
I always admire these people that can be CEO of 2, 3 and possibly even 5 companies. In fact, I admire these people so much that I always invest in their companies. Of course, I’m being facetious. I stay away. I never invest in these companies. I run, run, run. Can I make it any clearer?
How the (*&*&& ) can anyone have the time to run four companies. In the future, I would suggest to visit a site that allows you to search SEC filings by name. If the same person is CEO of multiple companies, I would suggest to be careful.
Just like many of our other posts, a little time spent complying with our suggestion and a few cents may save you thousands.
Sincerely,
CEO of One Company

I disagree. Most people do work that produces value and it is tied strongly with the amount of time they commit to one position.
Most CEO’s are decision makers, inspirational leaders, and creative visionaries. Depending on the quality of the direct reports along with the size of the company/need for the CEO to get “in the trenches” I could foresee situations where a CEO would perform well as captain of many ships. This may allow them to see situations from more perspectives and make connections that would not be found if you lived only in the bubble of one company.
Of course, the situation matters. You as CEO of one company may not have the structure in place to explore other ventures. The question is what do you do with the 50 hours a week that you work?
