The '''Chief Operating Officer''' (or '''C.O.O.''' for short) is the [[Boardbots|Boardbot]] [[Cog Bosses|Boss]]. While [[Boardbot Headquarters]] has not been released and cannot be accessed, Toons are able to "fight" the C.O.O. during [[April Toons]] events via visiting [[Boredbot Headquarters]]. The C.O.O. first appeared in the 4th Corporate Clash Comic: [https://corporateclash.net/comics/comic/10004 The Day of Reckoning] and made his first appearance in game during the [[April Toons 2020]] event.

==Attacks ==
The C.O.O. currently does not have any present attacks. All he will do is have a mindful discussion with whatever Toon is present for roughly 20 minutes.

For sitting through the Ottoman's fight, Toons are rewarded with an exclusive clothing item that differs for each year. Each item had been leftover belongings that the C.O.O. had, however, as the years progressed the rewards seem to be more thoughtful.  In addition, Toons also felt the nice and warm satisfaction of interacting with such a great character.

==Music ==
Radio tracks play throughout the encounter with the C.O.O. Most of these tracks are from areas currently in the game, but some tease tracks used in upcoming content.<br>
'''Notes:'''
*Some radio tracks are made up of Cog voice clips, and as such they have been omitted from this list.
*Some radio tracks have unique names listed in the metadata, written like file names. '''Please keep in mind that these names are likely red herrings and may not represent the final product'''.

==Trivia==
*A chief operating officer is a senior executive that is tasked with overseeing the administrative and operational functions of a company.
*The C.O.O.'s real name is a reference to Thomas O. Staggs, former C.O.O. of the Walt Disney Company.
*The C.O.O. is sometimes referred to as the Ottoman.
*The C.O.O. and the Chairman are the only known Suit siblings that do not share a last name together.
**It was revealed in the Treasure Trove from the [[1.3.0 ARG|v1.3.0 ARG]] that the Chairman changed his last name to differentiate himself from their parent company, Saggs Corp, after running away to develop C.O.G.S. Inc,. The C.O.O. still holds onto his surname to this day.
*According to the Treasure Trove, the C.O.O. is at least over 45 years old.
*The Directors' cutscene theme is almost always used as the first song on the radio when meeting with the C.O.O.
*Right when the C.O.O. talks about [[Witness Stand-In|Atticus Wing]] during the 2021 fight, the Resistance Outpost theme from [[Break The Law]] starts to play.
*The C.O.O. and the Chairman are the only Boss Cogs to use the same bodies as standard Cogs rather than the larger bodies that the other four department leads use.
*The C.O.O. has a total of seven plants in and out of his office. They are all individually named and are said to have personalities as well.
**The plant names in his office are Ginger, Ivy, Ash, Olive, Layton, and Mark.
*As the years have progressed, during the Boredbot HQ fight, the C.O.O. has become more friendly towards the Toons and appreciates the Toons showing up. The pauses between conversations have also greatly decreased.
*The C.O.O. frequently mentions his lack of interest in romance.
*The C.O.O. enjoy the company of the [[Deep Diver]] due to their similar interest in non-Suit life.
*The C.O.O. was taught how to knit by the [[Mouthpiece]] and has even been in a knitting club with a few other Suits of the company.
*The Sticker rewarded in 2024 was created by the C.O.O. himself. It was a failed project for "expressive graphics" after a [[Con Artist]] created harmful messages with them towards the Chairman.
