JÜRGEN DORMANN
Former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ABB, a Zurich-based engineering company. ABB was dealing with asbestos lawsuits and an economic downturn, which put the company deeply in debt, when Dormann took it over. But by the 1st quarter of 2004, ABB showed signs of turning itself around. In 2007, he retired from ABB. A company-sponsored foundation was named after him to offer scholarships to electrical engineering students in the world. Dormann had worked with Hoechst, BG Group, IBM, Metall Zug, Sulzer Ltd., and Adecco.
