Hardly any other business boss has been featured in the newspapers as often as Oliver Blume in recent months. The VW boss has publicly considered plant closures and the termination of collective agreements, which not only guaranteed him the wrath of his own workforce, but also extensive media attention. These turbulences now give Blume first place in the impact rankings of media analyst Unicepta , which the F.A.S. is present. The regularly published analysis evaluates the media visibility and influence of the DAX 40 bosses. Three factors help us get to the winner’s podium: high media reach, the tonality of the reporting and an explicit focus on the person. Rheinmetall boss Armin Papperger has to be content with second place after he was previously at the top. However, the arms manufacturer continued to enjoy record sales and reporting on them. At the same time, Papperger was personally in the headlines when it was announced in July that he had been the target of a foiled Russian attack. Mercedes boss Ola Källenius took third place. Manfred Knof secured fourth place before he surprisingly announced his resignation as Commerzbank boss in September. Looking at the stock performance, a slightly different picture emerges: Siemens Energy and its CEO Christian Bruch took first place. The price has tripled since the beginning of the year. The wind power division Siemens Gamesa, the company’s eternal problem child, needed government guarantees worth 7.5 billion euros last fall. However, investors now believe that business will recover, and the figures for the third quarter recently confirmed their hope.More on the topicRhinemetall is once again in second place in terms of price gains with 68 percent, followed by MTU Aero Engines Holding AG, which is around was able to increase by 59 percent. Things have been going uphill for the Munich engine manufacturer and its boss Lars Wagner for over a year. Shortly after the company raised its profit forecast for the current financial year this week, the share price reached its previous record high of 312 euros.
