CHIEF RISK OFFICER

chief risk officer: translation

(cheef RISK awf.uh.sur)

n.

A corporate executive in charge of assessing and planning for potential risks such as hacker attacks and lawsuits. Also: CRO.

The star executive of the 1980s was the chief financial officer. Technology took over in the 1990s, elevating the chief information officer.

This decade's hot executive is shaping up to be the CRO, the chief risk officer, which students of Intel chairman Andy Grove's book, "Only the Paranoid Survive," may recognize as the chief paranoid officer.
