FAQ
Federal and state-level laws, as well as a company's incorporation documents, require public and private corporations in the U.S. to have boards of directors (BoDs). Although private LLCs do not have the same requirements, some choose to elect a board of directors after incorporating.
The CEO is at the highest position in a company. They head C-level members such as the COO, CTO, CFO, etc. They also rank higher than the vice president and many times, the Managing Director. They only report to the board of directors and the chairperson of the board of directors.
The board of directors is not above the CEO because they are elected by the shareholders. The CEO is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the company and reports to the board of directors. The board of directors has the authority to hire and Fired CEOs, but they cannot tell the CEO what to do on a daily basis.
In some cases, the CEO may be able to effectively control the board of directors and use it to further his own interests rather than those of the shareholders. This can lead to a situation where the CEO is effectively above the board of directors.
Information about members of a company's current board of directors can be found in standard directory resources such as PitchBook, or S&P Capital IQ (see access details). S&P Capital IQ also includes prior board members and the ability to screen for board members by title, board job function or committee assignment.
