LinkedIn Title For Small Company Owner

If you have an LLC that's just you and one or two part-time employees, what do you put as your LinkedIn title? Assuming it's the type of company it's beneficial for people to know you run. "CEO" and "President" seem douchey.

"M-and-A" If you are uncomfortable with CEO / President, how about Owner, Principal, Director or even Founder?

If you have a LinkedIn Premium account, and have access to Sales Navigator, you can use the search feature there to suggest more titles.

Director or Principal seem the least "douchey", if you're worried about that sort of thing.

 

You could always go with something vague and pompous, like "Leader | Thinker | Visionary" if you want people to think you love the smell of your own farts.

all depends on what kind of job you are looking to get. if you are trying to get an entry level analyst job, then you don't want to put President/CEO/Managing Director (because why would you take such a step down??). So, in the case where you are trying to get an entry level role, i would focus on the actual work rather than title...and then create a title that reflects the work done...but could appear to have been an employee.

just google it...you're welcome
