Innovation has long been considered the essence of competi-tiveness and essential part of economic growth. Internal as well as external indicators that encourage the innovativeness of companies have been rese-arched world-wide for several years. This literature review explores the im-pact of CEO characteristics on the innovation performance of firms. Drawing from psychological, organisational, and strategic management li-terature, this paper examines how CEO personality influence the strategic decisions that foster innovation. It reviews established theories, such as Up-per Echelons Theory to highlight the role of leadership in shaping innovation outcomes. By using a systematic literature search on international studies between 2000 and 2024 the aim of this paper is to highlight key trends in the current literature and identify research gaps for future investigations. The findings reflect the interaction between CEO psychological profiles, firm dynamics and the external environment to further elucidate the mechanisms CEOs use to contribute to innovation success. Ultimately, this literature re-view provides a comprehensive perspective on the central role of CEO characteristics in driving innovation performance and provides valuable insights into the underlying management theories and their relevance for scholars and practitioners both.JEL Codes: M12, E01, E03, E052
