The exact relationship between corporate executives varies from firm to firm, with different firms having quite diverse hierarchical organizations. Often, the relationships between positions are quite complicated; some firms may omit certain positions, place multiple executives in single position, or place single executives in multiple positions. For instance, a firm could have multiple vice-presidents, one of whom is also the CFO. In one firm, the CEO could also be the president, while in another, the CEO appoints someone else to be the president.
