executive producer
Top credited financier
Executive producer is a title in film, television, and music whose meaning varies considerably.
In film and TV, it often designates someone who secured financing or rights but wasn't involved in day-to-day production: She's credited as executive producer on three Netflix shows.
In television, executive producers may be the showrunners who actually run everything.
In music, the role typically involves overseeing an album's creative direction or business arrangements.
