I think product visionary falls under "UX guy". The name "product visionary" by definition means he has an excellent grasp of user-oriented design and focus.

I've heard far too many Business Guys call themselves "visionaries" when in fact what they mean is "idea guys."

In the industry we call the "Product Managers".

Are you saying a UX professional is just a product manager?

I'm saying that almost all the tasks you describe above also fall under the responsibilities of a good Product Manager (at least on small teams, which is what we're talking about here).

If your "Idea Guy" comes from a Product Management background (and can do all the things you mention above, plus "Strategy"), then you should be in good shape.
