bestyrelsesformand


Explanation:
If the 'President' of a company is the Chairman of the Board (of Directors), which is a notch above CEO, then bestyrelsesformand would be the Danish equivalent.

Example sentence(s):
  • Nu kan du få indflydelse på, hvem der skal kåres som Danmarks bedste bestyrelsesformand i 2008.
