Through persistence and patience, Clinton has assembled what is probably the broadest CEO support among the candidates, ranging from Wall Street to Hollywood, reports Fortune.
Here is a list of some of her supporters:
John Mack, CEO, Morgan Stanley. Winning over the longtime Republican sent a signal about Clinton's clout on Wall Street.
Sheryl Sandberg, vice president, global online sales, Google. "I was always hoping she'd run for president. She's uniquely qualified."
Steve Rattner, managing principal, Quadrangle Group. "I've been a longtime supporter of the Clintons. I knew I'd end up in her camp."
Steven Spielberg, co-founder, DreamWorks. The mogul co-hosted a fund-raiser at the home of News Corp. President Peter Chernin.
Haim Saban, CEO, Saban Capital Group. "I endorsed Hillary before Hillary decided to endorse herself. I'm on a mission."
James D. Robinson III, general partner, RRE Ventures. The former AmEx CEO likes her "breadth of experience, especially on the international level."
