总经理 / 董事总经理


Explanation:

"manageing director" 在香港多译为“董事总经理”，正如 ecindy 所说。

在大陆，也有人译为“董事总经理”，另一些人直接译为“总经理”。

英国人说的 Managing-Director 或 Managing Director，大致上相当于美国人说的 Chief Executive Officer。
中文习惯上把后者译为“首席执行官”或“执行长”。其实，无非是总经理的另一种说法。

總經理；總裁


Explanation:
英國公司習慣上用managing director這一名稱，特別是中小型的有限公司 (limited company)。美國公司則用general manager 或 president ﹝總經理；總裁﹞。現在英國和美國均流行用 chief executive officer (CEO，台灣譯作“執行長”)，但大部份為大型上市公司。
