Chief Business Officer
Chief business officer (CBO) is the position of the top operating executive of an academic or research institution such as a university, college, institute or teaching hospital. The chief business officer role and title are unique to higher education, the title director or vice president are also applied to the executive serving in the chief business officer role.
The titles of senior vice president and vice president are found most often in a university’s central administration office, a hierarchical relationship does not necessarily exist between those positions and the chief business officer position of a university affiliated institute or center, which is often at an equivalent level. The chief business officer position should not be confused with the chief business development officer position which is unrelated.
