CEO

The Chief Executive Officer is the highest-ranking executive in a contractor organization, responsible for overall management, strategy, and performance. In government contracting contexts, CEO involvement may be required for certifications, representations, and significant corporate commitments.

CEOs certify cost or pricing data, sign major proposal commitments, and may participate in high-level customer engagement. Understanding CEO responsibilities in government contracting helps ensure appropriate executive involvement in compliance and business development activities. CEO decisions shape contractor strategic direction and market positioning.
