Don't make the appointment if you can't dedicate your attention. If the CEO is too busy, they shouldn't be a part of the interview.

If something comes up, find a new host or give the candidate a mid-session break.

maybe the CEO is swamped and needs to hire people so he can dedicate attention.

I'm assuming the best, but if my assumptions are true, the CEO should have said upfront that they are growing fast and he may need to personally help with support during the interview.

I had forgotten about this but my first professional job something like this happened with one of my interviewers a few time--not customers but fires of various types. It was a pretty good job for a few years though.
