An Officer is an individual appointed by a company’s board (or authorized person) to hold an executive role—such as CEO, CFO, or Secretary—with authority and duties defined by law, the bylaws, and board resolutions. In governance and M&A diligence, Officer actions and Officer authority matter for approvals, signing power, compliance, and potential personal fiduciary exposure.
