I have noticed the same. The time it really stood out to me was that guy who started the Facebook page for the Egyptian protests a few years back. The press was reporting him as a "Google executive", but he was actually an Adwords account executive. I don't know if there is a position further from exec than someone who manages Adwords accounts for big customers.
- nl 13y ago"Executive" is commonly used for any reasonably senior management position. This is arguably correct. Executive: relating to the job of managing or directing other people in a company or organizaton[1] Interestingly, for me Googling define:Executive gives the following definition and example: a person with senior managerial responsibility in a business. "account executives" (Note that "account executives" are the specific example given). [1] http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/executive http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/executive
- jamesaguilar 13y agoRight, but my point is that an adwords account exec/manager does not have any managerial responsibility at all. They would be more properly termed account technicians or analysts.
