I prefer 'Summary' or 'Abstract'. 'Executive Summary' _forces_ me to think of gentlemen in suits as if only their time would matter. Its used in business contexts, where it rightly belongs (where person reading the paper will make some decisions based on it, ie. will execute.) Abstracts are abstractions (makes sense for scientific papers). Summaries... well... summarize.
Plus... calling Summary a 'tl;dr' is somehow informal and ok, me thinks.
