long-in-the-tooth 是习语 long in the tooth 构成的形容词性合成词 。这个习语用马的牙齿越老越长比喻 “老迈年高”,所以 long-in-the-tooth executive 的意思是 “年老的总经理”。
〔另如〕
~Aren't I a bit long in the tooth to start being an undergraate? 我现在才去读大学本科不是有点太老了吗?
~He's already long in the tooth for such a job. 他的年纪干这种工作太大了。

long in the tooth: to be very old.
Etymology: based on the idea that teeth grow longer in some animals as they get older.
成语“马齿徒增”说马的牙齿随年龄的增长而增长,所以看马齿就可以知道马的年龄,后就用来比喻人的年龄。
executive指总经理;总裁;执行者。所以
long-in-the-tooth executive是指年事已高的总裁,上了年纪的总经理的意思
