Chairman and CEO, Bank of America
Brian Moynihan has led Bank of America since 2010, taking over at the low point following the disastrous Countrywide acquisition. That makes him the second longest-serving chief of a major US bank after Jamie Dimon. His strength as a source lies in the scale of his customer base: the bank serves tens of millions of American households.
Moynihan often quotes directly from his own customers' payment data: how much is being spent, on what categories, and how that compares with last year. It is the most direct barometer of the US consumer available publicly, and it runs weeks ahead of official figures.
