Thank you all for your help. This term came up a few other times in the text and 'representatives' seemed the most appropriate choice.

proxy


Explanation:
avoids all legalistic scrambles re. a rather cumbersome "a person with a power of attorney" or "attorney-in-fact"

Example sentence(s):
  • ...to nominate co-directors and proxies..., etc...

Executive officers (in context)


Explanation:
These are people like the CEO and the "direttori" who are senior managers and not necessarily "consiglieri", although in reality they are almost always board members.
