Hi there. If someone is a Zaakvoerder, all I can find in my dictionaries is that they are the branch manager. In this case though the company has a single shareholder who is also the Zaakvoerder and therefore no branches. Can I translate Zaakvoerder then as General Manager or CEO or something along those lines? Many thanks

Managing Director
would be the UK English term I would use,
business manager may be accpetable but does not indicate the same level of control as
director and sole shareholder, which is another term you could use in this instance

Note from asker:
| thanks Dave - I think this fits best in my context as there is only one person involved |
