Adarsh Kumar , Managing Director & COO, Ieenergizer
I f asked to name an inspiring CEO, most of us can easily name a half dozen or more and the list can go on with the likes of Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and so on. Now, it becomes a completely different story if the question is about naming some of the extraordinary chief operating officers. Chief operating officers often remain the unsung heroes in a somewhat nebulous role, and in the present business dynamics, COOs are perhaps one of the least understood roles.
