Is this the same as Chief Executive Officer? There are few references to it on the web.

Thanks in advance for your help.

CEO/Managing Director
Explanation:
I've never seen it worded this way, but it's probably just a long-winded way of saying "Amministratore Delegato". So yes, it's CEO or, perhaps better for a European context, Managing Director, since a CEO isn't necessarily a member of the board of directors, whereas a Managing Director is.

Thanks both for your suggestions and explanation, very helpful. In the end Managing Director seemed the safer option, so I will give the points to Grey on this occasion.

Explanation:
This is an executirv director. It can be used to refer to the Managing Director (the chief executive officer), the (executive) Director of Finance (chief finance officer) or in fact any other executive director. Translation depends on interpretation and context. You have to know who the guy is.

Well no Grey. Very probably yes, but not necessarily. A board and shareholders can appoint as they wish. And then its Consigliere and not the usual AD (amministratore delegato)

neutral  Grey Drane (X): true enough, but since the context would seem to imply that there's only one "CdAD", this is probably the "managing director" rather than a generic "executive director"
