Explanation
CTO — the Chief Technology Officer is the executive directly responsible for technology strategy and technology development.
Executive titles name the area each officer is directly responsible for. The CTO follows technology trends, sets a technology strategy in line with the business strategy, and promotes research and development so that the company has the technologies its future products need. A related title, the CIO, is responsible for information systems and the IT strategy.

- •(b) CFO — Chief Financial Officer, responsible for finance: funding, accounting and financial strategy
- •(c) COO — Chief Operating Officer, responsible for running day-to-day business operations under the CEO
Key rule: The middle letter names the domain: E for executive (the whole company), F for finance, O for operations, T for technology, I for information systems.
