Corporate titles or business titles are given to company and organization officials to show what job function, and seniority, a person has within an organisation.

Executive managers hold executive powers delegated to them with and by authority of a board of directors and/or the shareholders.Generally, higher levels of responsibility exist, such as a board of directors and those who own the company (shareholders), but they focus on managing the senior or executive management instead of on the day-to-day activities of the business.
There are considerable variations in the composition and responsibilities of corporate titles. Within the corporate office or corporate center of a corporation, some corporations have a chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) as the top-ranking executive, while the number two is the president and chief operating officer (COO); other corporations have a president and CEO but no official deputy.
