What does COO stand for?

The letters COO stand for Chief Operations Officer. The Chief Operations Officer is just below the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in a company. The common letter of “C” in both titles gives us the C-Suite一the highest level of management and leadership in a corporation. The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) rounds out the C-Suite executives. All of the members of the C-Suite answer to the Board of Directors and Chairman of the company. In some cases, the CEO is also the owner and head of the Board. Titles of President and Vice President are often applied to these positions as well.
