A chief executive officer (CEO, American English), managing director (MD, British English),executive director (ED, American English) for non-profit organizations, or chief executive is the highest-ranking corporate officer (executive) or administrator in charge of total management of an organization. An individual appointed as a CEO of a corporation, company, organization, or agency typically reports to the board of directors.
The responsibilities of an organization's CEO (US) or MD (UK) are set by the organization's board of directors or other authority, depending on the organization's legal structure. They can be far-reaching or quite limited and are typically enshrined in a formal delegation of authority.
Typically, the CEO/MD has responsibilities as a communicator, decision maker, leader, and manager. The communicator role can involve the press and the rest of the outside world, as well as the organization's management and employees; the decision-making role involves high-level decisions about policy and strategy. As a leader, the CEO/MD advises the board of directors, motivates employees, and drives change within the organization. As a manager, the CEO/MD presides over the organization's day-to-day, month-to-month, and year-to-year operations.
Stephen Park (born 1962) is a British artist and comic performer. He was briefly associated with the Young British Artists (YBAs) in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and included in the seminal Freeze show.
Stephen Park was born in Edinburgh and grew up in Newcastle where he attended Bath Lane College of Art (1981–82). He moved to London in 1982 where he attended Goldsmiths College (1982–1985) and then the Slade School of Fine Art (1985–1987). Early in his career he was included in exhibitions at the Institute of Contemporary Arts and the Serpentine Gallery. He was one of the artists in the exhibition Freeze curated by Damien Hirst in 1988. He subsequently distanced himself from the YBAs and consequently remains relatively unknown. From 1985 to 1992 he was closely associated with Fiona Rae.
In the early nineties he returned to the Slade School of Fine Art for two years as the Henry Moore Fellow. In 1998 he exhibited drawings and sculpture at the Richard Salmon Gallery. Since 2003 he has performed in the South West of England as a comedian and stand-up poet, including appearances at the Port Eliot LitFest. He is one of the hosts of a regular poetry/cabaret event in Totnes called One Night Stanza (which was given its name by Matt Harvey (poet).[citation needed] Since 1987, Park has been working on a series of abstract drawings.[citation needed] The drawings are made with indian ink, gouache and typewriter correction fluid on Fabriano paper.[citation needed]
Dominic "Dom" Barton (born 1962) is a longtime top senior partner and director at management consultancy McKinsey & Company, serving as its current managing director (chief executive) since 2009. He graduated from the University of British Columbia and pursued an MPhil in Economics as a Rhodes Scholar at Brasenose College, Oxford University.
Barton was one of six students from a high school class of 200 to attend college.[citation needed] After the studying at the University of British Columbia he won a Rhodes Scholarship to attend Oxford University. He began his career as a currency analyst at Rothschild.
He joined McKinsey's Toronto office in 1986 and had a difficult time making partner, saying "It took me three times before I was elected a partner....I was working hard and I was rejected….it was a bit of a slap in the head." From then on, he said, "my bar will be higher than McKinsey's."
In the late 90s he made the then-counterintuitive career move of relocating to Korea to develop McKinsey's practice in the region. Barton enjoyed close relationships with the president and government of South Korea. He subsequently parlayed those relationships into a role running McKinsey in Korea from 2000–2004 and then McKinsey in Asia from 2004-2009. Barton's experience in Asia ultimately made him a strong candidate in the firm election as global managing director.
