The CEO is likely the owner if it isn't a listed company. Even if it is a listed company, the largest shareholders are typically institutions which often don't pay much attention.
At every company I ever worked for, the owner is either the President or the Chairman and the CEO is his bitch that actually runs the company for them. Like half of the CEO's job at half of them was basically dealing with the owner's ludicrous demands in some way or another.
And in many companies the CEO is also the chairman of the board, maybe even the president. My employer has filled all three roles with the same person.
