Historically, the **COO (Chief Operating Officer)** was the "chief firefighter," the person resolving problems created by the CEO. In 2026, the COO is the **Company Architect**. Their job isn't to chase problems, but to design processes and systems that prevent problems from happening.

### **The 3 Personas of the COO**

1. **The Architect:** Designs the org chart, workflows, and technology stack.
2. **The Integrator:** Ensures Sales talks to Marketing and CS.
3. **The Executor:** Ensures the CEO's strategy becomes reality (KPIs hit).
