The United Nations does not have a "CEO". The head of the United Nations is the Secretary-General, currently António Guterres.
António Guterres is the ninth Secretary-General of the United Nations. He assumed office on January 1, 2017. The Secretary-General is the chief administrative officer of the organization and performs a variety of functions, including:
- Diplomacy: Acting as a mediator in international disputes.
- Advocacy: Promoting the UN's goals and values.
- Administration: Overseeing the UN Secretariat.
While the Secretary-General is the highest-ranking official, the role is more akin to a chief diplomat and administrator than a corporate CEO. The Secretary-General is appointed by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council.
In summary, while the UN doesn't have a CEO, António Guterres is its Secretary-General and serves as its chief administrative officer and spokesperson.
