Time for the CEO to speak and address it's shareholders.

Public Company CEO

The most formal position for a CEO is in publicly traded companies. Shareholders own the company and the board of directors governs, representing the best interests of the shareholders. The CEO receives directives from the board, but is commonly held solely responsible for company failures or successes. The CEO is occasionally the chairman of the board, with greater influence over board decisions. In a publicly traded company, the CEO is the public face of the company and its primary leader, with responsibility to safeguard the interests of the shareholders. He must maintain compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations, manage the company to profitability and maintain the stock price.
