What's it like to be a Chief Operating Officer?

The Chief Operating Officer (COO) is typically the second highest position in an organisation and reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The COO is an important decision maker with the skills and experience to lead an organisation in the CEO’s absence. A COO's scope of responsibilities will vary depending on the type of business or industry they are in, but they usually oversee processes, people and projects that are part of a business’ regular operations.
