Can’t really tell if this is tongue in cheek but starting a company doesn’t make one CEO. It makes them a partner/owner but typically CEO needs a board of directors etc

I don’t see where you get that definition. If you’re the one running the company, you’re the CEO.

You may argue you need employees to be a CEO rather than a consultant but you certainly don’t need a board of directors.
