Volatility: Turnover is noted when the executive starts in the new role (as opposed to the data of announcement).

Internal change: An executive is promoted to a new role at the company where he/she is already employed.

External change: An executive is recruited to a position at a company to which he/she has no formal ties.

Mergers: In a merger of equals, the combined company is considered a new entity. A change in leadership, therefore, is marked for all mergers. A change is internal if the executive was previously employed by either of the merging companies.

Acquisitions: In the event an executive from the acquired company is appointed to a role in the acquiring company, it is an external change.

COO Definitions:

COO Role: If no individual operates under the title of COO at a given company, description of duties, executive hierarchy, and compensation are simultaneously analyzed to determine if someone with another title (i.e. President) fulfills this role.

CEO-COO: Should a COO be promoted to CEO, or an individual be simultaneously elected to both positions, the COO role is considered vacant since the functions of the COO are handled by the CEO.
