Other interesting profiles include Tony Fernandes (the founder of the pioneering Malaysian low-cost airline, Air Asia), Kim Soon Taek (CEO of Samsung SDI) and Miao Wei (CEO of emerging Chinese automotive giant, Dongfeng, which plans to enter the U.S. market soon with 2 models).

Notable absentees include India's software CEO's, the Hong Kong-based father-son duo of Li Ka-Shing and Richard Li (PCCW), CEO's of emerging Chinese multinationals like Haier and Lenovo and Softbank's Masayoshi Son.
