Outgoing Westpac boss Gail Kelly is in the running to become the first Australian and the first woman to win the 2014 Morningstar chief executive of the year award outright after being named as a finalist. The winner of the prestigious award will be announced in January, but as a nominee Ms Kelly goes up against just of two others: Greg Henslee, the chief executive of US auto-parts stores O'Reilly Automotive and John Martin, the CEO of American biotechnology company and market darling Gilead Sciences.
