What about 'Founder'?
Line 15: Line 15:  
Ideally and if possible, a senior corporate employee should be accorded only one common title in Centiare, to optimize semantic searching.  The more that users stick to this guideline, the more likely their data will be "found" by people using Centiare's search utility.  Furthermore, if in doubt about the "preferred" rank and nomenclature of titles, the following list could/should be used to force consensus across the many differences that appear in the working world.  Within Centiare, please try to use '''only''' the following labels when naming Key Person titles:

::* '''Chair''' (as opposed to Chairperson, Chairman, Chairwoman, etc.)

::* '''Board''' (use for any non-Chair members of a Board of Directors)
 
::* '''CEO''' (as opposed to Chief Executive Officer, Executive Director, President, Owner, etc.)
 
::* '''CEO''' (as opposed to Chief Executive Officer, Executive Director, President, Owner, etc.)
 
::* '''CFO''' (as opposed to Chief Financial Officer, Controller, etc.)

Adherence to this Style Guideline should by no means be considered mandatory, nor a perjorative assessment of any person's "actual" title at their company.  It is merely a mechanism to make semantic searching more productive for more Centiare users. If only three companies choose to call their CIO the ''Data Ninja'', that's very cute, but not at all useful to Centiare users who are looking for ''CIO'' types of personnel in the state of Michigan.

Consider whether the '''Founder''' of an organization is also the '''CEO''' or '''Chair''' (in which case use the '''CEO''' or '''Chair''' nomenclature), or whether he or she has been relegated to some non-executive role such as "Spokesperson", "Advisor", or some other honorary title (in which case, do not include this person as a Key Person in the Infobox).
