The owner of the company is the one who owns finanacial interest in the company...so a company can be owned by several people.
The President and CEO are sometimes interchangeable...depending upon what type of company... if it's a partnership it's head decisionmaker is the President, if it's a corporation, the head decisionmaker is a CEO, or Chief Executive Officer. Many times the president is the one who holds the majority interest and the one who started the company. The CEO is elected by the board of Directors and is a paid position. Presidents commonly are only paid by promotional interest and profits rather than a salary.
And, a President can also be elected to be the CEO.

CEO is Chief Executive Officer....he/she is the head of the Board of Directors of a corporation which makes him the top dog. President is usually a #2 position in a corporation. Owner usually relates to a sole proprietor.

A proprietor of a company could be a CEO yet a CEO neednt unavoidably be the owner...the owner commonly invests and is the pinnacle who takes judgements abt extra suitable investments and tie ups...mutually as the CEO heads all the departments of the corporate and is next to the owner in the event that they the two are different!!

the CEO is Cheif Executive Officer, basically, the owner is the CEO and President. or the owner can appoint someone as CEO, but the owner will still be the president.
