I remember when people first started using CEO as the title over Managing Director or CMD or President. Felt like a downgrade somehow at the time. Like Chief Flunky. Now we know it was an upgrade. From collegial to dictatorial leadership pattern.

who was “the first CEO”
In Singapore I remember people wanted to be “businessman”, “business owner”, “entrepreneur”... “founder/CEO” is very recent, like 10yo tops. -
I've had and known CEOs since 1995 and those were established titles at that point...title is quite old.
