The City manager is the CAO, but in corporate terms that would be a COO, not a CEO.
This is what I figured but didn't want to look it up. Nenshi is the CEO in the common sense that he sets the direction and agenda for the people in charge. Just because buddy boy has a "CEO" title doesn't mean he performs the traditional duties of setting direction, more like organizing employees and operations the way a COO would.
