European Competition Chief Tops Ethics VIP List

December 20, 2007

European Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes topped Ethisphere's "100 Most Influential People in Business Ethics." "Not only did Kroes levy record fines across Europe for antitrust cases, but she proved to American titans such as Intel, Apple and Microsoft that European rules should not be taken lightly," the magazine said.

Kroes is making an early case for leading the list again next year "with her plans to 'fight like hell' to stop price-fixing and ensure companies get the message," as well as indications that she plans on raising fines for antitrust violations even higher next year.

Other notables who made the list include Dell Computer Chairman Michael Dell; Computer Associates Senior Vice President Patrick Gnazzo; Hewlett-Packard Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer Jonathan Hoak; and Xerox CEO Anne Mulcahy.
