I agree.

Juan, if it is your mission to show the CEO you can hack his machine, it
is because you're the internal security expert AND hacker. Since you're
the best hacker in your company, if you can't hack the CEO's machine it
is because it is well protected.

However, as phugo pointed out, there are probably more interesting and
more vulnerable machines in your network. You should concentrate on
those to show your CEO that anyone with little security knowledge can
access confidential data or compromise servers or read other people's
email or whatever else you may find.

One thing that works really well for this type of demo, is to sit on the
network with Cain ARP poisonning the gateway or mail or file server or
proxy and looking at all the passwords it gathers.
