The title of the highest-ranking official in a company is typically that of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The CEO is responsible for the overall management and strategic direction of the organization. This role involves making major corporate decisions, overseeing the company’s operations and resources, and acting as the primary point of communication between the board of directors and corporate operations. The CEO’s responsibilities can vary based on the size and structure of the company, but they generally include developing and implementing long-term strategies to drive growth and increase shareholder value.
