Estonian translation:juht,/peadirektor
Explanation:
However he/she prefers to call himself/herself. In Estonia, there is a trend to say just "juht" for a"general director" even if it's a large company (e.g. Eesti Energia juht). "Juht" doesn't sound as flashy as CCO, though...

Addition: "juht" sounds best when preceded by company name: XXX, Eesti Energia juht. You could try "XXX, tegevjuht", or sometimes "president". "Direktor" seems to be on its way out in ET these days.

agree  Kersti Skovgaard: I think tippjuht is a bit too general, a CCO is THE manager, responsible for all areas of company acrivity
22 mins

disagree  Pia Kurro: CCO on konkreetse valdkonnajuhi tiitel. "One of the persons in top management" oleks pigem "a high-level corporate officer". Küsija ka märkis, et konkreetselt tiitliga on tegemist.

Üheks variandiks võib veel olla: (firma) president

Sõltub suurel määral ettevõtte suurusest ja juhtimisstruktuurist.

Ma ei saa kinnitada, et direktor on tänapäeval vähe kasutatav.

Aga president võiks küll olla.
Juht on üldmõiste, mitte niivõrd ametinimetus.

Siseteenuste juht/ administratsiooni juht / administratiivjuht(?)


Explanation:
A CCO is by no means the same as CEO or President. It is a position in very large corporations who need a separate person to lead and take responsibility for the internal services, or - CORPORATE services. Thos services are, for example, accounting, HR or personnel management, IT, legal department etc, and basically have to do less with business and operations, and more with administration.

Administratsiooni juht:

§ 10 (4) seal

Siseteenuste juht (Elionis):

NB! Oluline pole siin mitte niivõrd see, kas nimetada too asjapuik juhiks, juhatajaks või minugipoolest presidendiks, vaid et tegemist on mitte üldjuhi, vaid üldjuhile alluva valdkonnajuhiga.
