How to send an invitation to a CEO
Sie müssen ein wichtiges internationales Meeting oder ein Firmenjubiläum organisieren, zu dem auch die Geschäftsleitung kommen soll. Wie laden Sie einen Geschäftsführer richtig ein? Wie werden Adresse und Titel korrekt geschrieben? Hier finden Sie die Antwort.
The CEO, or Chief Executive Officer , is the highest-ranking officer of a company. He or she is often also the chairman of the board, and sometimes the president. The CEO oversees the company’s finances and strategic planning, which makes him or her a very important person! So if you are inviting a CEO to a meeting or a company function, it is important to get the address right. Fortunately, this is not difficult.
