executive vice president

Senior company officer

An executive vice president is a senior corporate officer ranking below the president or CEO but above other vice presidents.

The title indicates substantial authority over major divisions or functions: She was promoted to executive vice president of marketing.

Companies vary in how many EVPs they have and what the role entails—some treat it as the clear second-in-command, others as one tier among several vice presidential levels.
