executive officers

Company's top managers

Executive officers are the senior leaders who run an organization's daily operations.

In business, the chief executive officer (CEO) heads the company, joined by other C-suite executives: CFO (finance), COO (operations), CTO (technology).

In military contexts, an executive officer is second-in-command to the commanding officer, handling administrative duties and ready to assume command.

The executive officers met to discuss quarterly strategy.
