McDonald's Skinner picks up CEO honor

TORONTO Jim Skinner, president and chief executive of McDonald's Corp., was selected as one of Brendan Wood International's 66 TopGun CEOs, the corporate advisory firm said Friday.

Skinner was the only restaurant executive out of 750 companies around globe to make the list of TopGuns. The chief executives were selected by 2,500 professional asset managers who are members of the Brendan Wood International Worldwide Panel of Shareholders.

The TopGun CEOs were ranked on the quality of their senior management, including the chief executive's strategy for the corporation, management team and execution capability, and accountability and clear communication with investors focused on strategy and development of the business.

Skinner has led Oak Brook, Ill.-based McDonald's for the past five years. The nation's No. 1 burger chain has managed to thrive during the recession, which Skinner and other company officials have attributed to McDonald's value and convenience. In its first quarter ended March 31, McDonald's reported a 4-percent jump in profit and global same-store sales that rose 4.3 percent.
