English term or phrase: executive lifestyle

Bonjour à tous,
J'ai beau chercher, je n'arrive pas à comprendre le sens de l'expression "executive lifestyle" dans un document publicitaire. Je pensais tout d'abord au mode de vie des hommes d'affaires, mais cela ne correspond pas au produit présenté, qui est une télévision familiale intégrant les dernières tecnnologies de pointe.
Voici un peu de contexte :
1. XXXX enhances your ***executive lifestyle***
2. Its aesthetic features are designed to fit your *executive lifestyle**

Peut-on employer ici lexpression "haut-de-gamme" (sous entendu produit que peut se permettre d'acheter un business man ) ??

Merci pour votre aide !
Sandrine

mode de vie haut-de-gamme

Explanation:
I think the description of the 'Executive Life Style' in the blog is what the advertiser's are trying to convey but I don't think "exclusive" is right. I prefer Florence's original "haut-de-gamme'';

Oui c'est vrai, ce n'est peut-être pas très adapté à une télévision familiale. J'espère que quelqu'un trouvera un terme plus approprié, bonne chance!

Asker: Ce terme laisse supposer que le client est privilégié et je ne suis pas sûre que cela corresponde au sens d'"executive", ce serait bien d'avoir l'avis d'un anglais natif. help ;-) !!
