The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is the highest-ranked executive in a company. The CEO has many responsibilities, ranging from setting strategy and direction to configuring the company\u2019s culture, values and behavior. The chief executive is also responsible for building an executive leadership team and allocating funds to match the company\u2019s goals and priorities.

Oftentimes they are responsible for more than just the traditional duties, and can include anything from brewing coffee to marketing their product.<\/p>\n
