In a software tech company, there are people who are called executives. What does that classification mean? What positions are "executives", and what are other (non-executive) positions called?

"Executive" generally means someone operating at or near the board level -- CEO, CTO, division heads. The people who set policy for the company as a whole.



Everyone else is just an employee.

  • Are executives necessarily C[x]O, like CTO, CEO? Is an executive at higher position than an engineering lead, and engineering VP?

    @Tim: I gave an example which isn't a Chief Officer: Division heads are often considered executive-level positions. President/VP are also executive level positions. Engineering leads generally are not, though there may be exceptions. The exact details vary from one company to another, so for specifics you need to ask your own employer.
