Can this occupation migrate?
Potentially — if the list, the assessment and the rest of the profile fit.
Chief Executive or Managing Director can be relevant to skilled and employer-sponsored pathways. Your actual options depend on age, English, qualifications, work history, the skills assessment, points, state nomination, and whether an employer can sponsor the position. A place on a list is not a grant.
Potential visa pathways
Start with the pathway type, not only the subclass.
State nomination

Whether Chief Executive or Managing Director is open for 190 or 491 depends on the state, the stream, and the month.
