Company: Rémy Cointreau Based in: France Title: Chairman
Hériard Dubreuil, 58, leads one of France's great family-owned businesses, Rémy Cointreau, which last year had revenue of more than $1 billion. Though the company took a hit when sales of Rémy Martin cognac dropped in Asia and Russia, it is still the world's No. 2 brand, and Cointreau still sells briskly. Hériard Dubreuil's challenges include rejuvenating the company's struggling champagne business and fending off pressure to merge.
