Chief Executives Council on LinkedIn: The Roles in the C-Suite - Chief Executives Council (2024)

The C-suitecomprises all the executives that run a given organization. The makeup of each C-suite is unique: while most organizations have a CEO and a CFO, the other roles depend on the business model and operations of the company. A public-facing tech business, for example, is more likely to have a chief technology officer (CTO), whereas a company heavily dependent on sales may have a chief revenue or growth officer. And some C-suite roles wax and wane in popularity: in 2000,48 percentof Fortune 500 and S&P 500 companies had a COO; by 2018, that number had dropped to 32 percent.
