That's really the question when it comes to having a separate president and CEO role (and often times having a separate CEO and chairman role). Who's really in charge, and what does the person who's not in charge do? There really isn't a good way to tell. Generally, it's either a sign that: 1. The President is being groomed for the CEO position once the "real" CEO leaves (such as Tim Cook). 2. One of the two needs to give up their position, but isn't because either nobody wants to force them out or they're too powerful to be forced out. 3. The company is so huge, the CEO needs to delegate some of their authority. My money's on #2. Tom Preston-Warner clearly doesn't need training to be the CEO, and github clearly isn't big enough to need separate CEO and president roles. |
