What Chief Executive or Managing Director workers move into.

Covers 10 financial years, 2011-12 to 2020-21. 2020-21 is the most recent year in the release, so this is not current-year data.

The destinations

These are the jobs that people leaving this role move into more often than the workforce does as a whole, not simply the biggest employers of former workers.

A destination is listed when at least 30 people made the move over the ten years, it appears in at least two of those years, and it is at least twice as common for this role as it is across the workforce. Two things are left out on purpose. Moves within the same occupation family are not counted, because they are not a change of career. So are destinations that appear in only one year, because one year is not a pattern.
