Chief ________ Officer

One of the principles of Creative Emergence is new language and metaphors emerge to replace the old. The current language in any emergent system becomes, by its nature, too limiting to contain the new emergence, so a new language has to emerge to better describe and make sense of it. One of the areas I have enjoyed noticing this in the Chief Officer titles and roles.  Until recently, all you would find between the words Chief and Officer in a business context were Executive, Financial, or Information. In the last couple years, however, other Officer titles have been emerging at an accelerated pace, including my own: Chief Emergence Officer. Some other titles I have seen used are:

Chief Learning Officer                   Chief Innovation Officer
Chief Customer Officer                  Chief Activation Officer
Chief Storytelling Officer               Chief Humor Officer
Chief Encouragement Officer         Chief Exploration Officer
Chief Creativity Officer                  Chief Diversity Officer
Chief Integration Officer                Chief Design Officer
Chief Play Officer                          Chief Medical Officer
Chief Connections Officer              Chief Wisdom Officer
Chief Musical Officer                     Chief Curiosity Officer
Chief Understanding Officer           Chief Intelligence Officer
Chief Discovery Officer                  Chief Visionary Officer
Chief Scientific Officer                  Chief Imagination Officer

My own is Chief Emergence Officer. What's yours?

Chief Storytelling Officer. I applied for Chief Play Officer, but was told the position doesn't exist, which put me in some despair of ever rising to Chief Wisdom Officer. Thank you for a lovely post!
