Peter Cuneo, CEO for the turn-around of Marvel Entertainment and six other major companies, shared the most important role of the CEO with me in our video interview. When Peter took over the reigns of Marvel their stock had plunged to only $0.96 per share; ten years later, Cuneo sold the company to Disney for over $4 billion, or $54 per share.
