managing director, administrator or governor


Explanation:
I'm not an expert in this field, but my guess would be one of these options, depending on further context. Possibly 'acting' instead of 'managing', but unless I'm mistaken that would usually mean or suggest a temporary replacement role.

neutral  Robert Kleemaier: 'executive director' perhaps, Jack? given that it relates to a company, I'm not keen on 'governor' // adjusted in light of Lianne's solution.

  -> Would be a possibility too, IMHO. I'll give Lianne an agree on that one ;-)
neutral  Wiard Sterk: Definitely not governor and administrator is to much of a catch-all.

neutral  Kitty Brussaard: This seems to refer exclusively to the CEO, whereas the Executive Board consists of more members.

  -> But that would be 'bestuur' and not 'bestuurder', which is a person.
