Purpose: The current study examines the impact of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) characteristics such as CEO Educational Background, CEO Age, CEO Foreignness, CEO Tenure, CEO Duality, CEO Experience, and CEO Ownership on firm reputation. Furthermore, the current study tests the impact of Board characteristics like Board Size, Board Independence, Board Meetings, and Board Gender Diversity on firm reputation.

Findings: The results found that the CEO’s educational background, age, duality, and ownership negatively affected the firm reputation, while CEO’s experience had a positive impact on firm reputation. Furthermore, the current study revealed that CEO tenure and foreignness demonstrated mixed results when using different measures of firm reputation. Also, the results Board size and Board gender diversity positively affected the firm reputation. Moreover, Board independence and Board meetings displayed mixed results when firm reputation was measured by different measures.
