Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / Abbreviation
Danish term or phrase: VD
XXX finder i dag lokationerne og afleverer indstillingen til VD med kalkulation af lønsomhed i driften og budget for opbygning eller renovering af lejemål.

I'm presuming it stands for "virksomhedsdirektør" or "company director", just haven't come across that abbreviation before, but want to make sure it's not something else.

It's a candidate presentation for a job in the construction industry. Thanks for any help.
