Former CEO

A former CEO, or Chief Executive Officer, is an individual who previously held the highest-ranking position in a company, responsible for making important decisions and overseeing operations. This role typically involves setting the company’s strategy, managing resources, and representing the organization to stakeholders. When someone is referred to as a "former CEO," it means they have left the position, whether due to retirement, resignation, or being replaced. Their experience often influences their future endeavors, such as consulting, serving on boards, or starting new businesses.
