Bill Steere
CEO, 1991-2000; Director, 1992--2010

Steere ran Pfizer when Lipitor and Viagra helped make it the largest pharma company on the planet. He remained a potent force on the board through Pfizer's struggles and management crises. Steere helped install -- and remove -- Hank McKinnell and Jeff Kindler as chief executive and also played a key role in Ian Read's ascension to CEO last year.
