Well that's unanimous

Have you thought of trying Google?

Nah quicker to ask the wonderful fabulous Mumsnetters.

I'm quite glad you asked that question

There's a new guy at my work who was hired as a sales manager, but is now ranked as a sales executive working below two managers.

I always thought an executive was top of the heap (hence executive suite, executive homes etc) but apparently they're one below manager?

So it should be CMO. Chief Managing Officer.

Today I Learned. For some reason I though the E was Economic.

CEO is more used in the USA; UK businesses traditionally call them the managing director.

I recall finding out that the Company Secretary was not just some sort of secretary to somebody about 15 years ago. Imagine the mortification when I told him the CEO had a full diary for the next month and couldn't fit him in at all.

@safariboot Last place I worked, we had divisions (separate legal entities somewhat). In my division, we had a board of directors and a managing director. But the group overall had a CEO. A thoroughly English company.
