corporate titan

Industry's top dog

A corporate titan is an extremely powerful business leader, typically heading a major company or controlling vast wealth.

The term evokes the Titans of Greek mythology—primordial giants of immense strength.

It carries connotations of dominance and influence: The corporate titans of Silicon Valley reshaped how we communicate.

Unlike neutral terms like executive or CEO, titan suggests someone who towers over their industry.
