Executive Vice President of Operations
The Executive Vice President of Operations (EVP) is not a common role within an organization's operational hierarchy. The most direct path into this role is to first gain experience leading a team or unit as a Vice President of Operations. The EVP may work with the board of directors and the CEO on overall company strategy and make decisions that affect all of an organization's operations. This executive, who reports directly to the CEO, will oversee all aspects of an organization's operations, ensuring that all aspects of daily operations run smoothly and in accordance with the overall business strategy.
