▼ + stars: | 2024-09-12 | by ( Christine Tan | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Chew Gek Khim has been running Straits Trading since 2008, after her family's investment company, Tecity Group, took control following a highly public bidding war. Since then, she's taken the tin legacy smelting business founded in 1887, and transformed it to focus more on becoming a major player in real estate and hospitality. It sits across the water from the popular tourist destination, Penang Island. "I'm optimistic it's a game changer for Penang because this whole area, which was at one time looked at as the poorer cousin of Penang Island, is now coming up," Chew said. Learn more about Chew Gek Khim's leadership style, and how she used it to transform one of Singapore's oldest companies into a real estate powerhouse in the video above.

Orleck and Tamari are among at least 50 professors arrested at campus protests across the country, according to a CNN review of police records, court filings, and news reports. (Since April 18, more than 2,400 students have been arrested amid protests on more than 50 campuses.) Officials from several universities where professors were arrested in connection with recent protests declined to comment on individual cases. All the professors, Blair said, were “expecting to get arrested.” Though Blair himself was not arrested, at least four other UCLA professors were that day. “I want to say some of my colleagues, particularly at Emory and Washington University, were treated much more brutally.

Bergh became CEO of Levi's in 2011 at a time when sales and brand loyalty were faltering. "The easiest way to change the culture is to change the people," Bergh told CNBC in an interview. Bergh became president and CEO of the company in 2011 when sales were faltering and brand loyalty was fading. Although he had a tough stance on firing, Bergh said that there were still times when he didn't act quickly enough to remove people who weren't the right fit. When asked about his biggest regrets, Bergh replied: "This is a corny saying and it gets said a lot, but probably not exiting people soon enough when I knew that there was something not right."
