Definition: an important person, or a leader of the group

Examples:

When the company’s bigwigs came to visit the factory, we all had to change our work schedules to accomodate them.

That guy is the head of Marketing, he is a real bigwig in the company.  If you see him in the hallway, be sure to smile and say hello.
