Department
Executive
Exists when someone in the company spends most of their time on vision, strategy, and external relationships rather than daily operations. In a startup, this is the owner wearing every hat. In a larger company, this is the C-suite or a leadership team that sets direction, manages key relationships, and makes decisions that shape the business for years. The threshold is not a title, it is whether the business has separated strategic thinking from operational execution.
