How this is compiled
Who runs the company now comes from primary sources only: for US companies, the CEO and CFO signatures on the latest SEC report, and a separate board chair from the proxy statement (DEF 14A); for Russian and Kazakh issuers, the company website and its disclosures. We recheck weekly; if a name can’t be confirmed, or a leadership-change filing came out after the report, we don’t show it until it’s reviewed. History comes from proxy statements, disclosures, Wikipedia and Wikidata; years show when a term started and ended, “since” means the person is in office now. An outcome for a previous employer is shown only when the linked document states it.

Figures are annual report lines; if a year was later restated (discontinued operations, mergers), we use the latest filing that shows it. Free cash flow is operating cash flow minus capital expenditures; dividends are cash paid to common shareholders during the year. “—” means the line isn’t in the filing.
