Morphology
The meaning 'a senior manager in a business corporation' is directly compositional from 'corporate' (relating to a corporation) + 'executive' (a high-level manager), so a learner who knows both words can infer the phrase. This noun + adjective construction and its logic are common across languages and standard in English, making it immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Corporate executive uses corporate to mean 'the company' and executive to mean a person who 'carries out big decisions'. Imagine a leader at the top of a company who plans the company's future and gives orders, so the term means a senior manager who guides the business.
