Nitpick, but directors are typically considered executive-tier, not n-tier-management.

It depends. I worked at a company with tons of title inflation. The first layer of management was referred to as "director." One of the "directors" literally had one report. The organizational hierarchy was bizarre.

Depends on the company, but in my experience that is not true. VP is the first executive level. Directors are middle management.
