Yes, but largely because the responsibilities are few. Many common CEO responsibilities (particularly reviewing financials and signing off strategy) may be done by other directors / partners etc. Where relevant, we also encourage clients to consider rotating CEOs. It's something we've done in our coaching company (which is large enough to have a full time CEO), and it means the role of CEO isn't the pinnacle, subject to office politics and power trips, and that post-CEO our coaches find other ways to contribute within the company (including going back to business coaching operationally).
