Apple CEO Tim Cook Takes 69th Spot on Glassdoor’s List of Top CEOs

Apple CEO Tim Cook has once again made it on jobs website Glassdoor’s list of the top 100 American CEOs. Cook is making his seventh straight appearance on the list.

Cook scored an average 92% approval rating, which was good enough for the 69th spot on the Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Awards, a considerable increase from last year’s 96th place finish. He was ranked 17th in Canada with a 94% approval in that country.

Cook’s best finish in the rankings came in 2016, when he finished at the #8 spot, scoring a 96% approval rating.
