CYVOK. I'll explain it too.
We had a previous CEO who did an incredible job at getting this corp off the ground. It was a venture into this game with a RL friend of mine, Shakz. Ishkur, Shakz, Fatamorgana, Waagaa, Erzengal, myself and a few others (not trying to cut anyone out, sorry) all got together to make this thing called Celestial Horizon in Eve happen. Shakz and Ish both were former members of BSC, who showed them the ropes of how to mine, and how to organize a corp.
We were gaining players every day, from contacts in EnB that wanted something different the devs in EnB were putting less and less into the game. Finally EnB shutdown, and since many of our founding members were very influential over on EnB, CLS turned into a natural refuge spot for many of the players. We used Shakz's forums for a while, from the EnB days, and everything was going good. Probably too good. We went from 6 members, to 25, to 120, to over 200 in a span of a couple months. Ishkur did great as a CEO, organizing events, helping newer players, etc. But with a corp that size, I don't think anyone was ready for the commitment it took. In the middle of this came acceptance into XF (I think we had 30-45 ppl at the time) which brought more administrative time.
At the same time, CYVOK had started introducing the idea of "regionalizing" our operations as we expanded them. Creating different departments of a corp is nothing new. But tracking assets, income/loss, performance. That s**t would normally make me want to go back int the office, since I could do all that there, but the thing is, it worked. Everyone not only liked it, they loved it. Moreso, they loved the teamwork attitude that CYVOK inspires in everyone. The now legndary "Genesis" division in CLS is long since retired, but these guys were awesome. They could mine record amounts of minerals in incredible times. Seems carebearish, but to get an honest corp off the ground, this is what it takes, and these guys did it better than anyone.
During our first war with Mercenary Frigates, I was probably one of the more senior ppl in corp. I could use cruise missiles on my kessy! Killing "pink taco" and subsequently getting killed 5 seconds later was the norm. I think less than 5 ppl had cruisers to use at the time. And then out of nowhere CYVOK undocks with battleships. Not just 1. He loses the first, and undocks a 2nd one! All of a sudden, we're all thinking "OMG, Who the F is THIS guy??" Think back to the days you all were n00bs, or when BS's were just introduced. Makes you feel small in a frig. On top of that, people were doing really good to have 1 million isk in their wallets. A couple ppl even had double digits of millions. CYVOK was in the billions category. And he sacrificed all of it for CLS in these fights and subsequent operations.
Long story short, Ishkur's RL started to take him away from game, more and more (election year). We had an election for new CEO, I think CYVOK won it with about 99% of the vote.
We didn't just do better. We absolutely exploded with this style of industrialist/PvP/agent-running teamwork that we shared. We created more divisions, and had HQ's everywhere. CYVOK came up with rewarding pay systems. Pay systems for our PvP'ers for killing enemiues. Pay systems for our more intensive "D6" mining operations. Pay systems for our low end miners, and incentive systems to get them into better quality ships faster.
But through it all, it was the absolute teamwork that we all had, and that originated from CYVOK that got us through every hard time in this game to date.
He is not a PvP'er, although when his alt hits you with turrets, I gaurantee you will say ouch.
He is not a miner, but his "other" alt can put just as much bistot in a can as anyone else.
He is a leader. He doesn't smack. He doesn't insult. He is upbeat, curteous, thoughtful, positive, obsessive, committed and funny. This guy is a machine. There are only a couple ppl that I know of that spend as much time "in game", and more time committed to their corp's operations than CYVOK. He personally hosts our websites now, as well as our forums, and spends more personal money on this game than anyone I know. He lives and breathes CLS. He's the Eve version of "Major Winters" from the Band of Brothers series.
It's almost inexplainable. Anyone that comes across him in this game will probably say the same things, as everyone can probably see.
Any corp would be successful with him at the helm. He resonates victory. Every CLS member is glad we have him.

Agreed with my fellow sniggles, Shamis is the unsung hero of snigg, he keeps the corp going no matter how bleak things can get and is able to balance the corp between casual play and organised ops very well.

I know it been said but I would have to vote CYVOK.
The amount of time and work that man puts in for his corp and his alliance is absolutely amazing. We wouldnt run anywhere as smoothly if it wasnt for him.
But its not just the CEO that makes a corp work, we also have a great team in the management role.
CYVOK is a great enabler. My hat is well and truly off to him

Looks like CYVOK will win for the sheer number of members he has recruited to say he is the best CEO

Drilla is my personal choice. He is a very good CEO and fleet commander. I would follow him into any enguagement no matter the odds as would anyone from Coretech.

Xirt will always and forever be my #1 CEO. Nothing beats a guy that knows what needs to be done then gets it done, while making it fun for us to do. The only man alive that can make mining ops fun.

Only had a couple of CEO's in game. Skull was a good fleet commander. and he was good for the corp.
Xirtam was an awsome CEO honestly. I have never seen anyone reward loyalty like Xirt.
Really though, Who is the best? anyone but me!

Damn Lorth! You beat me too it. N'Fran was hands down the best CEO. I curse WoW till the end of time for stealing him.
Though I've never flown in his corp, Destable of Venture Corp would get my second vote.

I would say Trigger, but if he read this thread he'd get to page 2 and suddenly shut down his computer and run down the shops for a packet of smokes and not tell anyone
