#7 – Adam Crozier, CEO, ITV
Like most of the success stories on our list, Adam Crozier has made some tough and unpopular decisions on his way up the ladder. Over the course of his, relatively short, business career the 48-year-old executive has run everything from the Royal Mail Group to the The Football Association.
Not every move he’s made has been a crowd pleaser, but he’s got plenty of success to back up his methods. Both the Royal Mail Group and ITV made a lot more money with him, than they did without him.
