I am the President of my company, and the founder. I gave up the CEO title to someone who bought a piece of my business. The way we split it is:
President (me): Head of corporate strategy, networking, and vision. (I also am the acting CTO but that's kind of not relevant here)
CEO (him): Fiscal policy, hiring planning, org chart projections, etc. He is the main executor of plans and also somewhat the Chief Revenue Officer. He's also the COO and his work is more meaningful in being the ops director, actually.
I loved giving up the CEO title. I don't want it back. Ever.
EDIT: Essentially the President title is flexible. In my company's case, I am the head of the entity and the buck stops with me for 85-90% of use cases across 30+ employees. But that's not always the case.
Thanks, interesting division of duties. I think as a title it's certainly more common in non-tech companies. Oddly though the VP title seems to be a dime a dozen. I have worked at many places where there was department with one or two people and one of them was the VP.
