A chief executive officer (CEO) is the highest-ranking executive in a company, whose primary responsibilities include making major corporate decisions, managing the overall operations and resources of a company, acting as the main point of communication between the board of directors (the board) and corporate operations and being the public face of the company. A CEO is elected by the board and its shareholders.
The COO is usually the second-in-command at the firm, especially if the highest-ranking executive is the chairman and CEO.
Account holder es el titular de la cuenta.
