\"IAM<\/p>\n

The chief executive officer (CEO) is the highest-ranked executive in an enterprise. The CEO has many traditional responsibilities ranging from setting company strategy and direction to configuring the company\u2019s culture, values, and behavior. The chief executive officer is also responsible for building an executive leadership team and allocating funds to match the company\u2019s goals and priorities. Some CEOs have even more on their plate, especially those at the head of cybersecurity startups: there, CEOs could be responsible for anything\u2014from brewing coffee to marketing their product.<\/span><\/p>\n
