The role of CEO is often a revolving door. Traditionally, when one steps down, that means the succession of one CEO to another. But in an increasing trend of Co-CEOs, Paramount has pushed the bar even further—with three. 

So it’s perhaps even more striking that on Fortune’s first LGBTQ+ leaders list, ranking the world’s top CEOs who also happen to be LGBTQ+, two are pushing progress further as out-and-proud gay joint CEOs.
