Question[edit]

Isn't this term used primarily to refer to the heads of companies (i.e., CEOs)? If so, this should be added to the definition. 24.29.228.33 03:10, 15 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Not primarily, perhaps significantly. A CEO is an employee of the company. DCDuring TALK 04:18, 15 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Usage[edit]

The term has appeared in print as early as 1988. See [1]. 24.29.228.33 03:14, 15 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
