Director General Explanation: "Presidente" would be equivalent to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, who is not an executive office of the company unless he or she adds "CEO" to his / her title. My long experience in the Spanish (peninsular) and American business worlds |

CEO / Director General Explanation: Particularmente en el contexto de empresas de tecnología, se usa mucho la sigla CEO directamente en inglés. En efecto, es "Chief Executive Officer". Y coincido con PB, el presidente se entiende generalmente que es el presidente del directorio. En uno de los siguientes ejemplos se ve que una persona tienen ambos cargos: Karl S Pnazek ha sido presidente y CEO de CAP Services, Inc. desde 1976 http://www.capserv-wi.com/pages/Biography_of_C.E.O._sp.html Es el paradigma del emprendedor en Internet. Jóven, atrevido, con buenas ideas y un curriculo que incluye un MBA en la Universidad de Standford. Marcos Galperín, CEO de MercadoLibre, comenzó su aventura empresarial hace poco más de un año, el 2 de agosto de 1999, lanzando en su Argentina natal, un nodo de subastas http://www.baquia.es/es/20001031/art00013.html Saludos, Patricia |
