Execution of boardroom strategy is a fundamental responsibility of the Chief Operating Officer (COO), with the role consistently requiring the post-holder to own all aspects of operations, and understand the core functions and impact on the business

COO’s will have a clear focus on the long-term business objectives, whilst retaining oversight in the functional delivery of the business, where they assume a very visible and ever-present role. Significant commercial awareness delivering high quality operational efficiency is typical of the role, concurrently creating value through cost-saving mechanisms.
