Can you use 'Chief Executive Officio' instead of 'Chief Executive Officer' ?

Question

I received an offer letter from a company, but they seem to use the word Chief Executive Officio for CEO, instead of Chief Executive Officer.

I think the latter is correct, and the former is not! Can you tell me which one is correct?

Answer 1

No, an Chief Executive "ex-officio" means that you're a chief executive who gets a seat on the board simply because you're C-level.

Though if you have a job offer of CEO of and don't know this, I highly suspect the legitimacy of your offer...  It sounds like language you typically find in one of those scams that comes out of India or Africa.
