ICEO

ICEO is an acronym without a single fixed meaning. Its interpretation varies by domain and organization. In corporate governance discussions, ICEO is sometimes used informally to denote Interim Chief Executive Officer, a temporary appointment to lead the company during a transition period. Most commonly, those roles are described as interim CEO, and ICEO is not a widely standardized term.

Some sources use ICEO to mean Independent Chief Executive Officer, describing an outsider or non-founder appointed to lead, though this usage is rare and not standardized.

In technology or finance contexts, ICEO is not a standard term and can be confused with ICO (initial coin offering) or IEO (initial exchange offering). The lack of a universal definition means the intended meaning should be derived from context.

When encountering ICEO, readers should consult the accompanying definitions or the organization that produced the material to determine the exact meaning.
