Is there a simple way to organize contacts in Outlook/Entourage and only have a subset of them synchronize with the iPhone over Exchange ActiveSync? Our CEO has thousands of contacts in his mailbox, but would prefer if only a small portion of them synched to his phone over the air... The iPhone's performance takes a huge hit keeping that massive dataset in order.

If he could put some of the records in subfolders or something and only sync the top level, I think that would work for him. Does anyone know if this is possible?

In all the implementations that I have seen for ActiveSync, it is a all or nothing affair... So I do not believe that it is possible to pick and choose through ActiveSync. Through iTunes teethered syncing, it is possible...

On iOS 10 go to Phone -> Contacts, then touch Groups. You can then decide which folders from Exchange (in my case Exchange Online) that you want to sync to your iPhone, as shown in the screenshot:
